Organising Your Personal Affairs
I’m always amazed that so many people spend most of their life at work and totally neglect their personal affairs.
Many of the business people I work with want their professional lives to be in order, and admit that their personal affairs are in chaos.
They have no systems for handling this most important area. The household paperwork is disorganised...piled up in a corner of the house...somewhere, they have no idea where they spend their money and often have no plan for their financial future.
If you do not organise your personal life, you won’t have much of a future to look forward to.
Avoid the excuses that you are too tired, don’t have the time, don’t know how.
Here are a few tips to get you started:
Personal Papers 1. Set up a filing system to store your paperwork.
File your papers in categories: Bank, Car, Children, Home, Medical, Insurance, Investment, Tax, Utilities etc.
Organise direct debits for regular bills.
Read, sort and action your snail and e-mail daily. This will avoid a big build-up.
Make a note in your diary when you need to remember to do things.
Check your bank accounts weekly via phone or the Internet to keep tabs on your money.
Allocate a particular day and time each week to review your personal affairs.
Organising Your Financial Future This area should be top priority. If you do nothing because it’s too much effort well, think about this.
What would happen if you lose your job, have an accident and receive no income for 6 months?
How would you (and your family) survive financially? Do you have your insurances in order?
Where will you be in the next five years? Maybe retired and on a pension? Or perhaps you have superannuation you hope will be enough to live on? Unfortunately too many people are under false illusions about how superannuation will be the answer for a secure retirement.
Hope is not enough. You have to be pro-active and seek out professional advice to help you. But be careful who you take advice from and what is the motivation behind them “selling” you their ideas?
Educating yourself on how to make the most of your hard-earned money so you can create wealth should be a high priority. After all, if you’re not interested in securing your financial future, who is?
The Final Word If you take control of your personal affairs you will have peace of mind and know that you are making things happen.
I once heard someone say: Some people make things happen, others watch things happen and still others wonder what happened.
Stop procrastinating and just do it!
Have a great week! Lorraine Pirihi
