20.01.2022 How to sort your life...one tiny step at a time! I love this article because anything is 'doable' when you break it down to "making small changes and improvements every day". The theory is:... "If you get one percent better each day for one year, you'll end up 37 times better by the time you’re done." What's can you incrementally change each day?: Sorting paperwork? Sorting the pantry? Sorting your bank accounts? Sorting your spending? Sorting your debt repayments? ...?
18.01.2022 Working From Home ?? The ATO will now accept a TEMPORARY shortcut method of calculating WFH expenses for the period starting 1 March 2020 until at least 30 June 2020. There are actually 3 ways you can choose to calculate your additional running expenses i.e. WFH expenses:... 1 shortcut method (TEMPORARY method) claim a rate of 80 cents per work hour for all additional running expenses. 2 fixed rate method claim all of these: a rate of 52 cents per work hour for heating, cooling, lighting, cleaning and the decline in value of office furniture, the work-related portion of your actual costs of phone and internet expenses, computer consumables, stationery, and the work-related portion of the decline in value of a computer, laptop or similar device. 3 actual cost method claim the actual work-related portion of all your running expenses, which you need to calculate on a reasonable basis. KEY TIP: If you've never claimed WFH expenses before you'll NEED to keep records e.g. for the shortcut method the ATO say you must keep a record of the number of hours you have worked from home as a result of COVID-19. Examples are timesheets, diary notes or rosters. For more information, visit ato.gov.au/home or speak to a registered tax professional.

15.01.2022 Need a gift & can’t get to the shops - regift - good or bad? there’s etiquette when it comes to regifting: regift thoughtfully - e.g. don’t give someone a candle if you’re not sure they would like or want it. be authentic - if you’re giving something because you know they’d appreciate it, then let them know how you got the gift - don’t pretend that you shopped for them. ... Never regift handmade, used, or easily identifiable gifts or goods that don’t have their original packaging.

13.01.2022 The beauty of saving tips is that they rarely change ;) it all comes back to how you implement. Some great ideas collated by Choice Mag. How many will you work through this month?

11.01.2022 This image reminded me of a dream I used to have as a kid. There’d be all these coins on the ground in the cul-de-sac, and I would be raking them up into a big pile...desperately trying to reach as many as I could. Saving for a rainy day is important, but feeling anxious while saving is never a great feeling. ... Stop feeling anxious by setting 3 clear dollar hurdles. Once you clear your first - celebrate ... see you can save!!! Jumped over the second? - celebrate ...wooo hooo 2/3 or the way there!!! Flown over the third? - celebrate YOU. DID. IT. Now stop and recalibrate. You’ve achieved something amazing . Ask yourself...what’s next? And go get it!!! You can do this.

06.01.2022 My regular pick me up has become a morning walk What’s yours? Stay healthy & stay safe
05.01.2022 Ok, so spending money on treats is not really an emergency...though my little nephews may beg to differ What's the purpose of a emergency fund/rainy day account/slush fund/freedom account...and how much is enough? Essentially it's an account that you can call on to cover emergency spending. ... When people start saving for an emergency fund they typically use a 'rule of thumb' of approx 3-6mths worth of income . Or...you could take another approach and break emergency spending into 2 categories which will give you a mid-way milestone to hit and celebrate: 1 Unexpected expenses - e.g. hot water system has blown, you need urgent car or home repairs. What are some of the items that fall into this category that you could estimate? 2 Unexpected income loss - where become unemployed, or are off work due to accident or illness and are waiting for insurance to kick in. How stable is your job? How long does it typically take a person of your skills and age to find a new job? How long is your waiting period on any income protection insurance you have? How much sick leave do you have? What are your absolute necessities to live and how much do they cost? Whichever method you choose to estimate the size of your emergency cushion you'll need to set up a savings plan to reach it. Last December I put in place my own emergency savings plan - it was an automatic deposit into an online savings account. I've hit my target and now feel much more in control. Everyone's lives and situation is different, but its important to start somewhere and work your way up to a solid emergency buffer amount. I may take you less than a year or more - there is no 'right' timeline for this. What are you waiting for? You deserve it! You deserve piece of mind. You deserve to put yourself first. You deserve to start sorting your life so you can start to focus on the things that bring you joy - with a mind that is clear and free of niggling doubts. #saving #yourlifesorted

01.01.2022 This article is one for the introverts (#me). As it feels like we're STILL in the month of MARCH the article crystallized for me that: being alone is a state of living i.e. scheduling "me time" being lonely is an emotional and psychological response to a situation... The article also shares some great ideas on how to be alone. xx
