Packing

I've been packing up boxes the past few weeks, and it's been an interesting process, going through my belongings and deciding what do to with them. I can't believe I still have some stuff, especially old bills and old clothes (I'm more of a packrat then I believed!). It's been a walk down memory lane, for sure, and I hope that the work I'm doing now will make the next apartment more organized.

I hope the next move will be to a new house!

Cleaning out the financial clutter

This week I've been working on shredding old financial documents as I get ready for my June move. I've been going through old bank statements, credit card and utility bills, various receipts, paystubs...it's amazing what I STILL have! Meanwhile, I'm hanging on the appropriate 3-7 years worth of paperwork, depending on what it is. I'm determined to have my financial papers in order when I move! Meanwhile, it's been a walk down Memory Lane, going through all those papers. It's good motivation to continue working on getting my finances in order for buying my first home.
