Statement on Recent Bank Failures

Your 2023 financial checklist is here!

If you’re making a (financial end-of-year) list, and checking it twice, you’re well on your way to making the next year nice.

Here are 9 things to do for better finances in 2023.

1. Check your credit at annualcreditreport.com  

  • Report any errors you find 
  • Pay off any negative things you see, or ask for settlements

2. Review all of your accounts.  

  • Go online, or get out those paper statements
  • Make note of all automatic withdrawals (memberships, subscriptions, streaming services, etc.) and any fees; you’ll need these for step 3 and step 4 

3. Review your subscriptions.

  • Review the information you gathered about memberships/subscriptions/automatic withdrawals in step 2
  • Cancel any you haven’t used in the last 30 days

4. Contact all financial institutions.

  • Using the statements you gathered in step 2, review the joint owners and beneficiaries on all accounts
  • Notice any fees? Ask if they can be avoided. If not, consider moving the account.

5. Talk to your HR department at work.

  • Review your 401(k) and other retirement plans to ensure you’re contributing as much as you can afford
  • Verify your beneficiaries, emergency contacts, and other information is up to date
  • Review your FSA/HSA contributions and spend any that’s left over from this plan year
  • Recalculate your payroll withholding amount

6. Contact your insurance agent.

  • Review your coverage and beneficiaries for auto, life, and homeowners or renters insurance policies
  • Ask if there are any discounts available

7. Check on your emergency fund.

  • Ideally, you’ll want at least three months of living expenses in an easily accessible account
  • Don’t have an emergency fund yet? Set up an automatic transfer or use payroll deduction to get started today!

8. Make sure you have copies of important documents.

  • This is one time when paper is better than electronic! Ensure they’re in a secure, fireproof location
  • Let someone in your family (or a close friend) know where these documents are and be able to get to them, if needed 

9. Make sure your will is up to date.  

  • If you don’t have a will, commit to having one in six months.
  • If either you or your significant other travel often, ensure you have an up-to-date power of attorney. 

If there’s a lot you weren’t able to check off, that’s okay!

Break it down by committing to two steps each month, and by summer, you’ll be in great shape.
