I found several tips listed that I wouldn’t have thought of on my own. This is a great article. I never really did put much thought into the stress that pile of mail actually causes me.

Maybe just write the info in a notebook or your diary & transfer it once a week?

Ken,
One idea would be to carry your own register and number the items as you record them. Then when you get home just use the number and the amount of the deduction to record in your wife’s register.

I am looking at simplifying my finances but from a different angle. As of March 31st I started a one month experiment to see if you can even live without electronic banking, debit/credit crads, direct deposits and auto bill pay. I am going Old School Finances @ ChangeJarSavings.com

Not to sound like a broken record but these are some great, useful tips. If you use Excel for budget sheets, you can easily save them to an Office Live Workspace via an Excel plugin, rather than having to go save your files via a website, and you can still access them from any computer with web access. If you don’t use Excel, there are free web app versions of Office products you can use to edit spreadsheets and type documents as well.

Your first tip reminded me of the book Getting Things Done by David Allen. That book isn’t about personal finance, but really helped me figure out what was making the day-to-day feel so cluttered, and helped me get things under control. If you haven’t read it, you should take a look.

Just keep in mind that its not a quick-fix. He spends alot of time talking about the psychology and mindset, and leaves a lot of the details up to you.

“…the fine art of limiting yourself to the essential…. ”

Something we always have to keep in mind. Our culture is a consumerist culture – a culture that tends to store clutter. After all, we define prosperity with the wealth (and assetts) we amass.
