New Years Resolutions

New Years resolutions are not something I've ever really participated in in the past, but I'm starting something new today. Perhaps not a New Years resolution, but starting a new habit to help me save. Every time we go to the store, we use the store card and coupons and the receipt always prints out a handy-dandy summary of the amount you saved. I decided that I'm actually going to SAVE it.

I have my Quickbooks all in order for the new year. Since I enter in my receipts and transactions every day, each time I have a savings from a coupon or discount, I'll transfer the funds into my savings account. I wonder how much I'll have in there at the end of the year. Today is a perfect day to start, seeing as it's New Years Day. My husband just came home with a store receipt with $10.73 in savings. I just used my online banking to transfer and entered it in Quickbooks. Yay!

If you haven't tried it, Quickbooks and Quicken are a great way to keep track of your finances. It makes things so simple and the reports you can create to see where you are spending are awesome. It's especially great to use Quickbooks if you have business income to keep track of.



I got so excited about my savings plan for the year, I started a blog about it. Check it out at My Frugal Year!

So, what's your resolution this year?

I am a big Quickbooks fan - and I agree it makes it a lot easier to keep track of business expenses, revenue, etc.

One thing to consider if you're away from home a lot is to use Quickbooks Online - then you have access to all of your records wherever you are. I've been using it for years and definitely recommend it.
