<\/a>If you\u2019re looking to improve your financial health, no matter what stage of life you\u2019re in, one easy thing to do is focus on one new habit at a time.<\/p>\n This is something I\u2019ve consistently done over the years and has had an amazing compounding effect.<\/p>\n Here are nine financial habits you can try to incorporate into your routine.<\/p>\n Do you balance your checkbook or do you just look at your bank balance online to get a sense of where you stand? If you do the latter that could be a big mistake \u2013 especially if you don\u2019t have a large buffer in your checking account.<\/p>\n Balance your checkbook at least weekly. This will give you a true sense of how much you\u2019re spending and on what. Not to mention you won\u2019t accidentally overdraw your account.<\/p>\n Using a cashback website, like Top Cashback (which in my research, offers the best deals) should be a no brainer. Especially if you do a lot of shopping online.<\/p>\n By using a cashback website you can effortlessly earn back hundreds of dollars per year without ever having to work for it.<\/p>\n Decluttering your home can be so huge for your finances in ways you\u2019d least expect.<\/p>\n When you constantly declutter you are aware of the things you buy and never use. And if you\u2019re like me you\u2019ll find out that you\u2019re buying more of things you already had<\/a>, but were misplaced.<\/p>\n I\u2019m a huge proponent of not having all of your eggs in one basket. Not only does having multiple income streams protect you in the event you were to lose one of them, but sometimes those streams you least expected can become the most powerful.<\/p>\nBalance Your Checkbook Weekly<\/h2>\n
