The mid-year financial check-in
When your YOLO spending goes towards a washing machine.
Hello new followers, nice to meet you. We chat about personal finance here so you’re welcome to stay. You’re just in time for the mid-year check-ups on finances to see how it’s going and perhaps adjust any goals so we all end the year with some satisfaction.
We don’t aim for perfect here. We’re trying for better.
I started doing mid-year financial check-ups when I began freelancing. At first it was because I was very stressed about knowing how much money I had to make in order to pay my bills including my mortgage. Once I got past that, I tried to take a proactive view of the mid-year check-up. Instead of stressing out about how much money I had to make in the next six months, I spend some time looking at my spending patterns and planning for the next six months.
