Simplify Your Annual Review

March 1, 2023

I have a ten-point checklist for an annual financial review, but even that might seem a bit daunting, so how can we simplify the process of keeping on top of your finances? IN this episode, Roger and I do our best to help…

Simplify Your Annual Review

Everything you need to KNOW

What is the purpose of an annual review?

10 Things To Review

  1. Paperwork
    • filing, shredding, checking up to date
  2. Cashflow/Income
    • Is income being paid correctly, tax codes correct, rents, interest, dividends
  3. Calendar
    • What’s coming up in the next 12 months, next 2-5 years
  4. Budget
    • Are you still in control of spending? Can you economise? Utilities, insurances – review
    • Big costs coming up
  5. Savings Rate
    • Are you still saving at a good rate? Fallen behind?
  6. Savings Split
    • Between you as a couple, if appropriate
    • Between accounts
  7. Portfolio
    • Portfolio Review Checklist
  8. Protection
    • Level and type of cover – still right for your needs?
  9. To-Do-List
    • In light of the above, what actions do you need to take?
  10. Priorities
    • Setting the compass for the coming year(s) – what is it all for?

So, how can we simplify all that?

Everything you need to DO

  1. Divide and conquer
  2. Set aside the time
  3. Keep a very good filing system
  4. Keep it in its place
