#155: How much attention do you really need to give to managing personal finances? Here are 10 ways we pay attention to our money - and most of it doesn't involve a lot of time: Always: Check remaining budget balances before spending. Daily: Enter transactions into your checkbook/software/YNAB Monthly: Balance checkbook/YNAB Monthly: Set up budget (again, we use YNAB) Quarterly: Review investments and retirement plans Annually: Rebalance portfolios and contribution amounts Annually: Reassess emergency fund balances Tax Season: Review "giving" categories Occasionally: Think of money-saving ideas as they come up (cell phone, irregular purchases, etc) Life Events: Health, Car, and Life Insurance annually or when there is a life event (job change, new vehicle, pay raise, etc…) Have I left anything out?
