Minimalist Finance


By Giana

Minimalist finance is all about making things as simple as possible. Straightforward and uncomplicated.

That means:
      One savings account, one chequing account, one retirement account and only one credit card.
      Pay in cash for everyday purchases and only use a credit card for big purchases with refundable circumstances.
      Toss your paperwork, only save paperwork that is 100% important. Of the little paperwork you have it will be simple. If your money is simple your paperwork is simple. 
      If you’re not debt free become debt free. Debt is one more weight on your shoulders. By making a plan to eliminate your debt, stress will dwindle and eventually be gone!
      The least number of payments the better. Don’t pay for things you hardly use.
      Only have one or two financial goals at a time to make them obtainable.
      Rent instead of own. Renting cuts obligations by reducing the number of payments. Rent also includes maintenance and upkeep which further reduces fees.
