Spring cleaning isn’t just for your home — your finances need an annual refresh, too.

This is the time of year to:

  • Close old accounts
  • Tackle high-interest debt
  • Set new savings goals
  • Update your budget to match current needs
  • Check your credit report for anything fishy

Even these simple steps done annually can go a long way toward keeping your financial goals on track.
