Key Financial Reminders to Add to Your Calendar Starting Today
It’s a known fact.
A personal financial calendar is imperative. It’s most important role, aside from keeping track of days when you might be able to save money, is to keep you from spending more than you need to and not to mention for the organization benefits, any “To Do listers”, here? It sure does help, right!
Making long term plans may be a stressful and difficult task (especially in 2022, sigh).
There are so many events and deadlines to keep track of, and when it comes to personal finances, missing an important date could literally cost you. Obviously, attempting to recall all of this in your head while also trying to remember work deadlines, baseball schedules, recitals and not to mention all that’s going on in today’s world is not the most efficient technique.
We are here to take that stress off of you. We've created a list of important financial dates for 2022 that you should be aware of - we handle the rest!
Before we dive in, there are some changes that should be noted, for example, such as Social Security and retirement accounts, that went into effect at the start of the year may have an impact on how much you can save for retirement or what type of budget you'll have to work with in retirement. Also, the majority of bank and stock market holidays fall on national holidays. As a result, even if they don't observe the holidays in issue, investors should make note of them.
Here are a list of dates you should be aware of for the rest of 2022
