Go over your bills to check for errors….

It is human nature to make mistakes.  Hopefully, we learn from them.

And banks, mortgage companies, stores are not exempt from making mistakes too. That said, it is up to you to check and make sure that their mistake(s) are not on your account(s). So, make it a habit to check each and every one.  If you don’t, you could be paying for something you shouldn’t be paying for.

Most people will, when a bill comes due, they will just pay it. Before you do that, check to make sure it’s correct.

Check you bank statements to make sure you aren’t paying for fees that shouldn’t be there.

Check your mortgage statement and escrow account to make sure the taxes and insurance bills are correctly being paid….. my mortgage company paid taxes out of my account and applied the money to another clients’ taxes!!!!!  So, this does happen.

Keep tabs on where your money is going at all times…….  you work too hard to get it to just waste it.

Be diligent about checking…… it only takes a few minutes for each, and can possibly save you hundreds of dollars.

Let checking become a habit.
