Weekend progress

This weekend I spent some time getting my financial papers and information in order. Saturday I started a notebook of various accounts and balances, and last evening I spent a couple hours shredding old documents to help with consolidating and organizing current and important papers. Every time I've started getting organized with my finances, it's always been an eye-opening experience. I think I'm going to need to purchase a 2-drawer filing cabinet, would help me feel more organized than having various portable filing units around.

I started reading David Bach's Smart Couples Finish Rich over the weekend. I've had it on my bookshelves for a while, and decided it would be a good thing to read since George and I have made the commitment to move in together. I haven't shared the book with him yet. I feel like I should get my own financial ducks in a row anyway. My thinking it that he'll look to me as an example in all of this...what's working for me, and how I'm doing, and why it's important to be financially organized and all.
