  Thank you!


In January when we tackled our papers, I shared a little bit of how I handle our incoming "bills", by tucking them into my planner pocket...

This binder is giving me a new system that I am really ecstatic about!

So far we have found a binder, added tabs, chosen categories, created a cover page and added an Auto Log!

Today I have created a Finance Checklist.....


It's a simple tool for us to list our monthly bills, the day of the month they are due, and then track by month, that we paid them {by either checking off the month, or I plan to actually write the amount paid in each month's column}:


I tossed the document into a page protector in my binder that I can easily remove during bill paying day.  And it will always act as a checklist of sorts to ensure I am not "forgetting" anything!

And the paper statements that come in, will just get tucked into the handy tab's folder pocket until it's paid and sent back out!


And I am also sharing the PDF with you!

 ** Remember, these free printables will only be free for this month, so snag them while you can! **

And another thing that I wanted to mention that I have found to be incredibly helpful already with this binder, was the addition of a pencil pouch to the back, which holds pens, a calculator and my binder hole puncher!


**UPDATE!**
A reader mentioned she actually tucks her checkbooks in her finance binder for when she pays her billz... GENIUS!  I now do as well!



So what do you think of this project so far?  Love it?  Hate it?  How about your finances, anyone have a great system or checklist that is working for them, to keep their bills in order and to ensure nothing goes forgotten?


I decided a little challenge would be fun! This month we are creating a Home Management Binder!  Wanna Join in?  Take photos and blog about your awesomeness as you go!  I am hoping to do a giant, "We did it!" celebratory post where we can all link up our binder creating success stories at the end of the month!
