Without even realizing it, I pulled off a complete financial reset in just two days.
The research, the late-night conversations with my partner—every step was worth it looking back. The process was heavy at times, but there were more good hours than bad. When it finally came time to organize our household finances, I sat down and faced it head-on.
I wanted simpler. I wanted easier. And somehow, I accomplished both, and more.
Organizing your money might sound simple, but it’s rarely easy. It starts with mapping out what needs attention, then comes the unglamorous work: phone calls to banks, updating accounts, and manually setting up automated payments. It can feel like a lot, and that alone can keep you from starting.
But here’s what I learned: the stress of not starting is heavier than the work itself. You only reach financial peace when your systems bring you a clear mind.
Here’s how I made my financial life more peaceful in just two days.
And my only regret? Not doing it sooner.
