Get Your Finances In Order
Having your finances in order can ease every aspect of your life.
One of the most important things many of us need to understand is where our money goes.
We all work hard for our money and each one of us spends or saves our money differently. When we plan where our money goes it makes our lives a little easier. When we think we have more money than we do, we tend to get into trouble financially.
Knowing how much money you make is very important. If you are paid on commission then you are probably watching your expenses closer than most people.
Many of us have heard that we should budget our money and for good reason. The way we handle our finances has a direct effect on everything in our lives.
When we are young we are told to save our money. As we get older we realize why.
When we are young we want to spend our money on candy and toys. When we get older we have to pay our bills. When we are younger we don't understand why we should make our money last. When we are older we have to find ways to make our money last.

Start with understanding how much money you have to work with and make a plan.
Figure out what bills have to be paid regularly, what possible expenses might come up, and how much money should be put aside for any financial emergencies.

"Regular" bills would be those like rent or mortgage, utilities, food, transportation and insurance. "Possible" expenses would be things like clothing, school supplies, sports gear and registration fees for the kids, entertainment, oil changes or new tires for your car. "Emergencies" are more likely to be things like the water heater or home appliances dying, mechanical car repairs or unexpected health bills.
The best thing to do is get your monetary affairs in order. Pay your bills on time and make sure that you check your credit report once a year. Checking your credit report will give you the benefit of knowing that you are in good standing with your creditors, seeing that your credit information has not been stolen, and if there are any conflicts they can be resolved before you need to make a major purchase.
It is very important to have your finances in order especially when thinking of purchasing a house. Your financial records are a major part of how much money a mortgage lender is willing to allow for your home purchase. Having good credit will show a mortgage lender that you are responsible. Having money in your savings account will benefit with a down payment.
