Spring isn’t just for closets—it’s the perfect time to dust off your finances and give your money habits a much-needed refresh. If your budget’s feeling a little stale or your accounts are looking cluttered, here are five smart ways to tidy things up and set yourself up for a smoother financial season.

1. Consolidate Old Accounts
Have a trail of forgotten bank accounts or retirement plans from previous jobs? Time to gather the stragglers. Fewer accounts mean fewer logins, less mental clutter, and better visibility over your finances.

2. Cancel Sneaky Subscriptions
You’re probably paying for something you don’t use. (Yes, we’re looking at you, streaming service #4.) Scan your bank and credit card statements for recurring charges and cut the waste.

3. Rework Your Budget Post-Tax Season
Now that you’ve seen your real income and expenses in black and white, it’s a great time to tweak your budget. Adjust for any lifestyle changes, goals, or surprises from the past few months.

4. Revisit Your Investment Mix
Markets change, and so should your portfolio. Make sure your investments still match your goals and risk tolerance. A quick check-in with your advisor can go a long way.

5. Top Off Your Emergency Fund
If you dipped into your emergency savings over the past year (or haven’t built one yet), this is your sign to refill the tank. A solid cushion gives you flexibility and peace of mind.

Financial spring cleaning might not smell like lemon-scented cleaner, but it sure feels just as fresh. A few simple tweaks can lead to better habits, stronger savings, and a more confident you.
