Declutter Your Finances
How do our financial lives get so messy?
From magazine subscriptions to streaming services to
regular payments for who-knows-what, some stuff just
builds up and lingers on our monthly credit card statement
until even our “minimum payment” is overwhelming.
It’s time to declutter our finances.
Here’s how: grab the last 12 months of credit card
statements to get a look at your monthly, quarterly, and
annual subscriptions.
• Cancel any you’re not using
• Downgrade to a cheaper plan if you actually need less (Be
careful: changes to health insurance plans often trigger
negative consequences.)
• Ask if there are newer payment plans that charge less, but
deliver more (you’d be surprised)
• Return leased equipment (like that extra cable box) and
other items you’re not using, but are being charged for
Be relentless. Make your credit card statement a clutter free zone. Lower your stress level by taking control of your monthly expenses. I’m up for that kind of balanced financial life . . . how about you?
In fact, finding balance in an unbalanced world is what the
Oola lifestyle taught me, and it’s what I help others do as an
Oola Life Coach.
It’s easy to calm your finances. All it takes is a system and
an accountability partner. That’s where I can help.
To talk about what you’d like to accomplish (and could use
a little coaching with as you’re going through it), message
me and we can jump on a call.

ways to free up extra cash to pay down debt. Don’t miss it!
