As a new school year begins, we thought we’d share a timely reminder for us (ahem) older folks that learning shouldn’t end once the tassel has been turned 🎓

We’re back today with another home energy tip: If you’re looking to keep your energy costs ⬇️ as temps ⬆️, below is a window into how to do just that.

❄️Today’s Cool Tip ❄️Uncovered windows facing south or west can heat your house up, making your A/C work harder to keep your home cool. Since windows in these directions absorb most of the sun’s heat, it’s a good idea to invest in good blinds or window coverings and keep these windows covered during the day.

Have another energy-saving tip? We’d love to hear – drop it in the comments below.

When you think of spring cleaning, you probably think of your home 🏠 but the spring is also a great time to do a clean sweep of your household finances!

Here are three ways you can do just that:

🧹 Revisit your budget. Take a look at your monthly budget and adjust it based on your spending so far this year.
🧹 Declutter your subscriptions. Search through your account registers to identify unwanted recurring charges you’ve missed. Apps like Rocket Money or Hiatus can help!
🧹 Shred old financial documents. The IRS recommends keeping at least 3 years of tax returns. Have some older than that? Shred away!
🧹 Review your insurance and plan for changes in coverage. Such changes could include adding a driver, selling a house, or purchasing a new policy.

Hope these tips help! Feel free to share this timely reminder with your network, and reach out if any questions “spring” up 🌸
