New Years Resolutions: Getting Back on Track Financially in 2013

2013 is almost here and I’ve made a promise to myself, a New Years Resolution of sorts, to get back on track financially.  The past couple years have been tough for us and I’ve kind of let things go, but 2013 is my year to change things around.  I’m preparing now for the new year so that I am ahead of the game come January 1st and I thought I would share some of my ideas with you and maybe you could join me!

Getting Back on Track Financially in 2013

Part of my NY Resolutions involve getting organized so I went out and bought some cheap tools from the dollar store.

1. Calendar – I got a calendar to carry with me to keep track of important things like who owes me money and when it is due.  I also bought a desk calendar so that I can make notes while I’m working and see things at a glance.

2. Organizer – What better way to keep things in order than to use a finance/bill organizer.

3. Labeler – I also got a Brother P-Touch Handheld Labeler to help me keep everything organized and neat.  I can now label things instead of having to guess what is in each container.

4. Couponing – Taking advantage of coupons is going to be a big thing for me in 2013.  I’m also utilizing programs like the Scott Shared Values program where I can earn rewards and chances to win things.

Here is more information on the Scott Shared Values plan and what it can do for you:

Note: Although this is a sponsored campaign I have been using Scott brand products for years.  I especially like their paper towels because they are ultra absorbent and a great value.  I have been saving with this brand for years and now they are giving back with this easy to use rewards program.  It’s a win, win!

Disclosure: I’m participating in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Scott. I received a promotional item as a thank-you for participating and am able to earn additional rewards throughout the campaign.
