365 days is a long time, but how many of us find ourselves wishing for just a few more hours in the day? Take a few moments at the beginning of the year to plan out your year! It might seem frivolous, but when the time comes, youll be happy you planned ahead.
Get a cheap calendar from the dollar store and plan out big events, including upcoming weddings, birthdays or vacations. Purchase gift wrap, greeting cards, or other items you might need when those events approach that way you will always have these items on hand for wrapping gifts, and you wont be purchasing them every time a birthday comes up.
If you have tropical vacations planned for the year, winter is a great time to find bargains on swimsuits and summer clothes.
Look up hotels and flights. Purchasing in advance is a great way to save money. You can even mark a date on the calendar to begin looking up these things.
Make budgets for monthly purchases and try to foresee large payments you might need to make. Does your car need tires? An oil change? Are you planning a move? Plan out these events in the calendar as well.
