After many years, I realize that time is money but taking the time to create a spot to gather and record is a great way to stay organized.
A dear friend gave me this pretty ginger jar a few years ago and I have named it my "feng shui money jar" which I keep a few lucky items and some spending money. There is a lucky wishbone, a crystal, some dirt from my garden and some lucky gold chocolate coins given to me.
It's a great way to ensure that there is always a bit of luck or a few dollars for a treat.
Firstly, I make a pot of tea and take time to gather my weekly receipts and then record them. It has certainly helped to show exactly where the money goes and created a savings because when you write it down, you are much more honest.
Do you use pocket files or a budget system for you house hold or business?
I would love to know what system you use for keeping your finances and files organized.

What a wonderful little red tea tin. The organizer looks really handy.
S. Etole,
Thank-you. Having both the tea tin and the pocket files remind me that everything has a place to keep my calm and carrying on.
Happy weekend to you~

Well, for my business, I'm pretty organized....I write down every expense within a couple of days. Personal stuff, not quite so careful and I need to be. Great reminder!!
The notebook is a great idea...just what I need for my new business. And I love your ginger jar idea! I need to try that!
Have a lovely weekend, Patricia! xoxo
MJH,
It is great to have everything in one spot and know where to find it all - so I highly recommend the mead pocket file or an envelope system.
Happy weekend to you too.

Sandy,

Enjoy your weekend.

I am continually working to keep paperwork, to~do lists, and finances in order and accessible. Will have to look at this system more closely.
on "how" to keep.....
