Three times that I suggest are:
*   “Weekly on Wednesdays” (This is good for an Entreprenuer or Homemaker)
*  “Financial Fridays”  (This is a good way to wrap up the week before going into the weekend.)
* “Last Weekend of the Month” (This is good if your income is paid once a month)

Schedule this time as a reoccurring appointment on your phone and calendar. Further Mark it BIG and MEMORABLE so you know it’s coming as well as  you won’t be tempted to skip it.

2. Have a Checklist to Cover in your regular “Financial Time”

List what you need to cover every time you sit down to do finances, such as . .

1.Review Credit Card Charges
