Here’s a Quick way to manage your Personal Finance Documents

by Holistic Leave a Comment | Filed Under: Investments

We all come across situations wherein our personal finances go beyond control. Despite trying hard to maintain it every month, we fail. This happens as we do not keep important personal finance documents at one place and update them on a regular basis. Due to this, our entire expenses of house get mixed up and we land up in trouble. To help you manage your expenses, we provide you with some simple tips that will ease the entire process.

Financial documents Filing system:

We have a lot of fixed expenses. Normally, we keep them wherever we want. Some of us keep every financial document at one place, without separating them from one another. Thus, while making payment, we end up losing track of what all we have paid. It is essential that we file every financial document, separately.

All important financial documents can be broadly divided into three categories:

1) Bills / payments due
2) Documents to keep
3) Documents to throw away

If you start to differentiate your entire personal finance related document under the mentioned categories, then it will ease your work. By this, you will not only be able to separate unpaid bills from the paid ones, but also can get rid of all those documents that are no longer needed.

Apart from this, you have to take a moment to read the next financial document you will get, and decide in which folder you need to keep it. This way, when you are in need of any financial document, you know where to find them, and under which category. You also have to keep reviewing those folders on a regular basis so that you can throw away unwanted financial document.

Organize your personal finance documents:

The previous method will help you keep all your necessary personal finance documents at one place. But, this solely is not going to help you serve the purpose of organizing your financial documents. The next step you need is to divide your important personal finance documents among several others, like, tax return, insurance policy, mortgage document, investments and mutual fund account statements, and so on.

organizing the documents

When you start to keep all the personal finance documents in their respective folders, you don’t have to go through every personal finance document while searching for the particular one. All you can do is divide the folders among the sub-folders to ease your work. This might sound a bit confusing but there are several files with many sub-folders available in the market, and they may help you to serve your motive.

Once you have those folders and sub-folders ready, all you have to do is read the personal finance document as soon as you get and keep it in a respective folder. Generally, we tend to think that we will do it later and then we forget. Thus, it is advisable to carry out the process of differentiating your personal finance documents as soon as you get them.

Maintain a Personal Finance Diary:

Sometimes, many of us feel that we have paid a bill whereas that bill is still unpaid. In order to get rid of such confusions, it is advised to maintain a personal finance diary. You should keep details in this diary like the unpaid expenses and when you have made a payment. This way, you will have a record with you and this will help you to manage your expenses well. Not only this, the diary can also be used to refer to previous month’s payment, whenever you need to know them.

Life of the personal finance document:

As we have fixed payments on a regular intervals, the questions arises is till when we need to keep the personal finance document? Some personal finance documents will loose its value and life after some period. This will depend on the personal finance document itself.

There are certain documents wherein you don’t have to keep a copy of it for a longer period of time, whereas, in some cases, you need to keep the document until the motive is served. Thus, while taking a decision to throw away a document, understand well the need of it.

Following are examples of certain documents which you should keep for a longer period of time as compared to others:

    Tax return:

    This is one such document which you should keep for at least seven years. During audits, you might like to go some 3-6 years back from the day you have filed. In such cases, it is advisable to keep these documents for at least 7 years to be on safer side.

    Mortgage documents:

    While buying a house, you need to sign a bunch of pages. You might not refer to them very often but still you should keep them, as they might turn out informative while selling the house or for any other purposes.

    Bank and investment account statements :

    Despite having a facility of internet, wherein you can take out statement of any given date, it is advisable to keep the copy of your bank statement till you get a next statement.

    Bills and receipts :

    If you’re getting your credit card bills, it is advisable to keep them until you receive the next. Sometimes, there might be some errors, and if you have a previous copy, you can always refer to that. The same goes for the receipts. You should keep them till you receive a bank statement. This will help you to tally the amount; both in receipt and in the statement.

Keep your identity safe:

We hear about identity theft a lot. Thus, it is advisable to keep your documents safe. You may be receiving various offers from credit card companies and other such organization. It is important that you delete them sooner. Keeping them in your mail may lead to various troubles in case of theft.

The bottom line

Organizing personal finance documents is important and once you will start doing it you will realize how it makes your life easy. It is necessary that you keep all the necessary personal documents at one place as this habit will not only help you but also to your family, whenever they need it.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners for the last three years. Mr. Srinivasavaradhan answered all my questions and doubts very patiently during the first free consultation. I was able to clearly define my short-, medium- and long-term goals once I signed up for the comprehensive plan and got their investment plan suggestion to achieve my goals. They are very polite and highly professional whenever I contact them for any queries or make investments. They never pressurize you to invest on their recommended financial products. I would have been lost money by investing directly without their help since I do not have time and knowledge about different financial products. Risk planning is also done as part of financial planning. Truly, they are holistic planners when it comes to your financial planning. They help you to define your life goals, understand your financial resources and establish a plan to invest towards reaching those goals. They do review your plan as you progress to make sure that you are on correct path to achieve those goals. Kudos to the team and keep up the good work!!! I am happy that I found holistic investment planners for my financial planning and management.

I was about to retire and really not understanding how to invest money to have financial freedom and fulfilling my goals. Was desperately searching on internet way out and fortunately came across Holistic Investment Planners. I read number of articles on their website and realized that this is the agency which I want and engaged their services for my retirement planning. It is an excellent experience to be associated with Holistic. Right from day one our interaction was fantastic and they gave me such a wonderful plan that I had never imagined. I am fortunate enough to be in the client list of Holistic. I have recommended Holistic to my friends as well.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners from last one year. The journey has been fantastic. Being a finance person myself I always thought we can look after and plan own finances also. However, due to lack of time and deciplain the things are not always as desired. After joining with Holistic Investment for the first time Icame to know the Financial goals and quantified them. Some dreams were unrealistic based on the earnings and savings so had a reality check. Also got the information and deciplain of investing on regular and more rewarding securities. I definetly suggest to use Holistic Investment Planners. They are professionals, available and hear youor full story before presenting plans. They are flexile in the sense if there are some urgent deviations required, they help to plan the same. For all professionals/individuals I would suggest using professional help of Holistic Investment Planners for best results in long term investment and financial goals achivements. Last advise will be to start early in your life. It really pays well to start in the beginning itself else the dreams needs to adjust :)

I came to know about Holistic Investment Planners online while searching for different investment ideas. Once I contacted them the journey was very smooth. Mr. Ramalingam explained all the aspects of Financial planning in detail and it opened my mind. I realized how important it is to have a Financial planning. Mr. Rajan suggested all the requirements as per my goals and made a Investment plan keeping in mind of my goals. I started my Investment journey with them. I wish I had done it some years back then it would have been in a different level. Review meetings were held every six month to check the implementation of the plan and check the results as per the requirements and to check if any changes required. Overall it was a good experience with Holistic Investment team and would like to continue in the years to come.

I came across Holistic investment planners almost 5-6 years back, but I did not have the trust since I had met a few of them who did not sound promising. Then I started investing through a financial advisor of my friend. After 4 years of investing the returns were very low. I was disappointed and started looking for financial advisors when I came across Holistic investment. I had a detailed discussion about my goals and the way they would approach achieving my goal before deciding to switch my investments to them. After a thorough analysis of my then existing portfolios, they suggested new ones and we zeroed-in on 6 schemes/funds where our investment would be split. I am glad I made the decision of switching over and taking Holistic planner's advise, my returns are handsome and I only wish I could have taken their help/advise 5 years back itself. Neverthless, I would like to recommend their services for investment and financial advise if someone is serious about their investments.
