The annual financial checklist

A once-a-year review of everything that quietly drifts: cover, nominations, allocation, goals and the actual savings rate. An hour a year catches lapsed policies, outdated nominations, forgotten subscriptions and goals that have stopped being realistic.

Why it matters to a household

Where it trips people up
