Usually when you hear the word audit, we assume its a bad thing. But doing a financial audit can help you simplify your personal finances and may even help you save some money. I am a big proponent of simplifying your finance by automating them. But as I wrote in Don’t Automate your Personal Finances and Forget About Them I believe you must review your accounts on a regular basis. That’s why I propose you do a financial audit on your personal finances every so often. At a minimum every six month you should do an audit. The reason for the audit is to make sure all of the auto payments you set up are stilling being processes as you originally established and any automatic payments you discontinued or thought you discontinued have been stopped. Additionally you want to review those payments.

In order to simplify your personal finances having a budget in place is essential. A budget is like your road map to help you reach your destination that you desire. That destination can be to reduce debt, retirement saving, or any other financial goal you want.

We say we want to simplify our finances but do you always find an excuse when it comes to certain financial topics. One topic many of us fail to consider when simplifying our personal finances is estate planning or just the simple step of having a will drafted. This is one subject many of us do not like to discuss. Since we do not like to discuss it, we usually do not plan for it. Having a will not necessary help you simplify your finances but will help simplify your finances for the loved ones you leave behind. Even though we all know having a will in place can make the settlement of your estate large or small much easier on our loved ones the majority of us do not have a will in place. So what is your excuse for not having a will?
