Managing Your Financial Records: Gain insight on the benefits of getting organized, and learn simple ways to improve your record keeping.
San Diego Metropolitan Credit Union is dedicated to educating families and individuals on the importance of keeping your financial records organized. Getting organized can help you find papers/receipts faster and help to reduce or eliminate late fees and become clutter free. In our recent fires, many people lost their necessary documents along with their homes. Loosing those documents only prolongs rebuilding and getting back on your feet. If there were a disaster, are all of your important documents in one place to quickly grab and take with you?
This workshop will cover the benefits of getting organized, why some record-keeping systems fail, what to have handy in case of a natural disaster, and much more.
