Spring is the perfect time to get rid of clutter in your life. Why stop at dust bunnies and old clothing? Here are four areas of your financial life that may need some spring-cleaning, too…

De-clutter your finances. As you sort through the clutter in your home, it’s a good idea to do the same for your finances. Review your monthly budget and eliminate additional expenses that may be cluttering it up. This might include subscriptions you don’t use anymore or upgraded apps and services you don’t need.

Next, simplify your monthly payments by moving all due dates to the same day and setting up an automatic payment so you are never late. You can clean up your money management by using SeaComm’s Online Financial Management service! This free service helps you budget and keep track of your spending with minimal effort.

throw away debt

Throw away debt. Is the debt going anywhere, or are you trapped in the cycle of making just minimum payments that mostly go toward interest? Get serious about eliminating your debt by making a list of all debts in order from smallest to largest. Work out a plan for maximizing your payments on debts with the highest interest, and avoiding expensive habits.

You might also consider bundling multiple debts into one convenient, monthly payment. With SeaComm’s loan pre-approval program, LoanEngine™, you might already be pre-approved for a consolidation loan! This new program allows you to view and accept loan offers specifically designed for you. If you qualify for a pre-approved offer, you’ll be presented with it through our SeaComm Mobile 4.0 app or NetTeller in the “My Offers” tab, via email, and/or a letter through the mail. Click here to login to your NetTeller™ to view your current offers! If you don’t have any offers at this time, be sure to check back every 60 days.
