Keeping track of ones finances is extremely important, especially if you’re planning on building a savings account. It’s important to be able to track your expenses easily, keeping tabs of everything you’re paying out as well as receiving in your account(s). Luckily in today’s day and age we’re able to track our financial life with places such as Personal Capital using mobile apps, everything is easy to track from our smartphone.
Tracking your finances is important for several reasons. Here’s a few reasons tracking you’re financial life is important:
Fraud: I’m a store manager for a bank, and trust me we see fraud daily. There’s so many different types of fraud, this would me one of the most important reason to track your finances.
Savings: If you’re trying to build a savings, it’s important to know how much money you’re spending. In today’s world we are given a little card, and swiping your card daily can easily cause you to over spend if you’re not tracking your account.
Overdraft: The last thing any of us want to see if overdraft fees. These are normally around $35 per item, if you’re make a mistake and three items clear your account you could be playing catch up for some time.
Bills: If you pay bills using your account, you will want to verify the correct amount was sent. This can help you from over spending or over drafting your account.
Mistakes: I would like to say, that we don’t make mistakes but we do. What if you’re deposit is placed in the wrong account, sadly it’s happened. If it does you’re going to want to catch it right away. It’s always easier to fix an error if you catch it right away.
Peace of Mind: Knowing what you have will offer you peace of mind when you head to the store to buy groceries, gifts, household products, etc. Before you head to the store, do you like to know how much you have to work with? I personally go with a list and budget in mind.
Tracking: If you dabble in stocks, money market, or private investments tracking your interest might be of importance to you.
These are just a few reasons it’s important to know how much money you have, and have the ability to easily track your financial life.
