sort out my finances

2007 has been a good year for my finances. I ended all subscriptions to magazines, organizations, etc. Kept track of what I spent by filling in my cash-book and managed to gather a small sum on my savings account. There are still some minor ajustments to be made, but I think I completed this goal for 80 %

Some of the accomplishments:

+ I filled out my various tax forms waaaaaay on time :-)

+ I’m still on top of my cash-book, and am even analyzing my ‘spending personality’

+ I ended all the subscriptions to various magazines and organizations that I wanted to end (except one I still need to decide on)

+ I wrote down my ‘financial forcast’ for this year. I’m working freelance (sort of), so it is always uncertain, but now at least I have some sort of overview

+ I adjusted my health insurance in a way that I need to pay a little less each month

+ and last but not least… I managed to collect a small amount in my savings account allready :-)

I’ve stayed on top of my cash-book and ended my subscribtion to a few magazines. However, it’s also that time of the month, so I had the urge to eat chocolates and bought some.

This coming week I want to:
1. keep my cash-book in order
2. end some other subscribtions
3. spend less money on sweets

I blew the dust from my cash-book, and filled it out every day :)

I also tried to be critical on my purchases. Think before you buy, and it works.
