June 17, 2020 - by Priyan Sharma

It’s the middle of 2020, and there’s no time like RIGHT NOW to get your money sorted. 

It is necessary to stay on top of your budget, but you have got to start somewhere, right? Sure, you know the ABC’s of sorting your finances, but sometimes it gets a little overwhelming, and you tend to miss out on important details. So, here’s the ultimate guide to help you get your finances in order.

Let’s Get Budgeting!

  • Get On Top of Your Budget

It can be confronting, but it is also critical to take a peek at your current financial situation and organize your money. The accounting experts suggest it can be really helpful to maintain a money diary where you list everything you spend – from big bucks to occasional coffee runs. This gives you an overview of where your money is going and if you need to cut down on any expenses.

  • It’s Time to Dump Your Debt

Congrats, you are now on top of your monthly budget!

Perhaps you can save enough for skiing a trip this Christmas. Well, not yet, remember the car you bought last year or when you went big on shopping? Whatever the reasons, this is the time to write down all your previous debts. If you start to feel a little overwhelmed, take the help of expert accountants or counsellors.

  • Ready to be a Property Mogul? Here’s What You Need to Do

If you are through Step 1 and 2 successfully, you must be thinking of buying a house, or even better, you have already short-listed one. In either case, you need to get the ball rolling and apply for a mortgage application. The banks use several measures to decide whether to lend to you or not, one of the biggest ones is – YOUR FINANCIALS! Don’t forget to check everything twice before proceeding.

  • Want to Invest in Some Shares?

Not everyone thinks investing in a property is fruitful, shares are where the money is at. But the stock market can be pretty intimidating if you can’t tell your bulls from your bears. The good news is, you can hire experts to help you with stock investments. 

  • Sort out your Savings Accounts

Wait! Before you start telling yourself that there’s a lot of time in your retirement, read this first. 

The more organized you are in your initial job years, the better you’ll be off in the golden years. And, that requires sorting out your savings accounts. The first and most pivotal thing you need to do is to find out how many saving accounts you own. And, with accessible government websites, it has become super easy to keep track of every account you have.

One More Thing…

Remember, you have got to do what suits your individual circumstances. So get advice from a professional financial planner or accountant.
