Financial Tips for Spring to Help Your Money Grow

Spring is here, and everything is growing, but can you say the same for your bank account? Here are 5 financial tips for spring  to sow the seeds for a more fertile financial future.

Prepare for Financial Storms

Before spring storms roll in, review your home insurance policy with a qualified insurance agent to ensure you’re fully covered. More than 20% of flood claims come from areas not considered high risk. That’s why it’s wise to consider flood insurance, regardless of your zone.

Declutter for Dollars

Remember the adage “one man’s trash is another’s treasure” when spring cleaning. Online platforms like eBay and Facebook Marketplace or traditional yard sales are great ways to turn clutter into fast cash to pad your savings.

Contribute to Your Rainy Day Fund

Spring showers aren’t the only rains to prepare for. Strengthening your emergency fund is crucial for weathering any unexpected financial storms. Now is the perfect time to start or boost that fund for greater peace of mind and boo.

Get a Jump on Next Tax Season

Make last-minute task tax scrambling a thing of the past. This spring, set up an organizational system to keep your documents and receipts organized as the year goes on, laying the groundwork for a smoother tax season in 2024.

Prune Your Portfolio

Spring is also a great checkpoint for a quarterly investment review. Sit down with your financial advisor, go over your portfolio, and adjust your investments and 401(k) allocations to align with your current financial goals.
