174 - Financial Clutter Can Cost You - Here’s 3 Steps to Clean It Up

Spring is right around the corner, making it the perfect time for a little financial spring cleaning!

Just like dust and clutter can pile up in our homes over time, unnoticed charges, outdated spending habits, and financial disorganization can accumulate in our finances. 

In this episode, we’re uncovering three simple steps to clear out the money "dust, dirt and disarray" and clean up your finances with clear steps and wisdom.

By taking small, practical actions, you can align your financial decisions with faithful stewardship and experience greater financial peace and clarity. 

In this episode, John discusses: 

• The impact of financial clutter on your peace of mind

• Identifying small, unnoticed expenses that add up over time

• Practical steps to reset dialy habits and regain control

• The importance of financial organization for wise stewardship

Key Takeaways:

• Reviewing bank statements can help uncover forgotten subscriptions and automatic payments that no longer serve you—canceling them can free up money instantly.

• Small daily expenses can add up to hundreds or even thousands of dollars over a year—tracking and adjusting these habits can lead to significant savings.

• Implementing a pause or a list before making online purchases can prevent impulse spending and encourage more intentional financial decisions.

• Conducting a quarterly financial review with three key questions can bring clarity and help align your finances with your values. 

“Ask God for wisdom and discernment—for patience, focus, and stick-to-itiveness—so you can dig in, be diligent in your efforts, and trust that He's guiding you to be the wise and faithful steward of what He has put in your hands.”
