Money Plan SOS Personal Finance
Helping you Pay Attention, Not Interest™
Tired of all the junk mail? Wish you didn’t have to spend the first 5 minutes after getting home on tearing your name and address off envelopes and solicitations?
Join me as I “fly” through a few web pages and “land” on a website that helps stop firm offers of credit and insurance from cluttering up our mailboxes. Our “journey” is a short 3 1/2 minutes and we don’t anticipate any delays as we approach our destination to OptOutPreScreen.com.
Most people use a calendar for upcoming events like birthdays, anniversaries, and dance recitals. In this exercise I show how to use an on-line calendar to enter upcoming expenses, make them recur every week/month/year, and how to set email reminders to yourself in order to create a rockin’ Money Plan (budget) that works.
UPDATE: Google Calendar has changed a lot since this video was produced, but the concept is still valid.
