Save like me: Spring clean your money!

I've got a fever! And the only cure is...MORE COWBELL!

If you don't get the cowbell joke, that's ok. I'm just fired up with SPRING CLEANING ENERGY.

But because I am a working woman with a toddler, I will never have 17 hours straight to spring clean my entire life. So I have to tackle it strategically--and I find that spot treatments are super successful when it comes to money. One. Thing. At. A. Time.


(That's also the beauty of the SELF Challenge! You get fit, bit by bit, total success guaranteed by summer! And if you sign up now you get a $10 coupon to Shoebuy.com, plus a chance to win other prizes and freebies. $1000 worth of personal training! Sign me up!)

Back to my own Spring Clean Your Money Challenge. Join me here, on this very blog and you will see a dramatic improvement in whatever segment of your financial life that you target--my task today was tackling the clutter on my desk!

Look how much trash I chucked! I'm not done, but I filed many papers and tied up a few loose ends that were lurking in that pile. Yay me. And Yay You! What are you going to spring clean this week? Comments please!

Find out how to make better money choices, get happy at work, live well and have savings to fall back on. It's all in this SELF guide.

    I cleaned out some of my old school books. Most people want to keep them so they can show proof of their education. TRUST ME- you will never look at those books again. I just listed all over 10 of them on Amazon, if they all sell, I could walk away with $500! Not too shabby for a little cleaning..

    Great attitude! Your energy has inspired me to take my spring cleaning one step at a time as well. I was just about to get overwhelmed and not do anything, ha. I also agree with Sarah W - I've been putting books on Amazon and making a little extra cash, woot!
