I can't quite believe that we are talking about Easter already, because it seems like Christmas was just a couple of weeks ago!  However, Easter is just around the corner and we have got a brilliant giveaway to share with you, which I will tell you about shortly.

I love this time of year, especially now that the clocks have gone forward and the nights are getting lighter.  It feels so full of promise and opportunity!  Some people also love to use it for spring cleaning.  I am not that keen on spring cleaning my house, but I do love to give my finances an overhaul every so often.  This time of year works well for me, as it's the end of the tax year, and the end of my business financial year too. 

There are 3 steps that I find useful when spring cleaning my money:

1 - Sort out the paperwork - throw out anything unnecessary and file everything that you need

2 - Check through the last 3 month's bank statements - check for any errors, compare any regular expenses and try to cut the cost of them, cancel any unused subscriptions & add up how much you have spent on each area of spending.

3 - Create a spending plan for the next month, to ensure that your money is getting spent on the things that matter to you.

Before you go to get started on that, let me tell you about our fabulous Easter Giveaway........
