This might sound like a boring episode, but please bear with us. We can promise you that taking some time to put together a sound record keeping system for your financial life now, will pay off down the track.

In this episode we cover some of the times where having your financial records in an accessible place can come in handy, and why we encourage you to set some time aside after listening to this episode to get on top of things.

Plus, we cover the different financial records you’ll need to keep track of, and some ideas on how to do it (and minimise the paperwork and admin time in your life).

Episode transcript now available via the show notes page.
