Personal finance checkup checklist

Use this as a recurring review rather than a pass/fail test. Not every item applies to every household.

Review take-home income and recurring commitments. Check the next 30–60 days for annual or irregular bills. Confirm emergency savings are accessible and appropriately protected. List current debt balances, rates, minimums and due dates. Review automatic payments and subscriptions. Update one current short-term savings goal. Check retirement or long-term contribution settings where applicable. Review insurance deductibles, limits and renewal dates. Check beneficiary information after major life changes. Review credit reports where your jurisdiction provides access. Confirm financial accounts use unique passwords and multi-factor authentication. Back up important financial and tax records securely.
