Spring Clean Your Finances! Clear the Money Clutter!

Do you get the urge to clean and declutter in spring?  Open the doors and let that lovely fresh air run through your house and blow winter out of your house!  

This is a great time to do a financial spring clean too!   Money loves attention and action and hates stagnation so here are some ways you can get started today.  Getting rid of what you no longer want will clear space for more of what you want to flood in!

Start with your purse.

Do you love your purse?  Scruffy, tattered old purses, bursting with receipts and out of date store cards just wont do. So, have a clear out and treat yourself.  Get a purse that you really love and you want to cherish.

Money likes fun, a little frivolity and to be special and honoured, like a good friend. 


Your purse nurtures your money so should be special to you.

What about your bank account?   Do you have a love/hate relationship with it?  Have you given it any love recently? 

My financial past has been rather chequered and there was a time when I was too frightened to look at my bank account.  A friend had to help me and we had a bank ceremony, we even lit a candle and had some lovely oils!  This was the start of me having a much happier relationship with my finances. 

I now thank and bless my bank account instead of looking at it with guilt, resentment and shame as I used to.  These emotions will just stop the flow of money into our lives. 

So, thinks about your relationship with your finances and start to treat it as an honoured friend.

Keeping money moving.

Are there piles of loose change around your house and car?   If so, move them! 

Recently there was a survey which showed how many youngsters actually throw their loose change in the bin!  My friend Chris tells me her 16 year old granddaughter actually throws her coppers away as she they are worthless to her.

So, gather up your loose change, empty that bottle of all your coins and either put it in an account or spend it on something nice!  Either way, use it.   Money wants to move and flow, not sit around stagnating.  

If you have gift certificates sitting around, use them too! They are also money stagnating and will love to be dusted off and spent!

Create one money file. 

Are all your bills scattered around the house, on the kitchen surface, on the table?

If they are, every time you look at them, they are taking your energy. 

Buy yourself an attractive folder, just for all your money affairs. As a bill, statement or invoice comes in, put it straight in your folder so everything is in once place.   This will save you so much energy and frustration.

What do you owe and who owes you?

Do you owe money and youre not paying it back right now?  Or are you owed money and there is no plan for it to come back to you?

Money loves clarity and flow.  Debt with no pay off plan will be stagnating and probably playing on your subconscious.  Even if facing these things can be frightening, openness and clarity will soon bring the energy it takes to start sorting out debts.
