Spring has sprung, and if you're like us, this is the time of year you really like to focus on organizing your finances. A task that can be very overwhelming! If you're looking for a place to start, may we suggest clearing away all of your paper clutter? Today check out our “go to” resources that help to keep our Smart Cookies finances in order and keep our wallets and offices paper free.

1. Get rid of paper clutter and store your scanned receipts in one safe, online hub. To keep our wallets and desks clear of clutter we like a product called Neat Receipts. Priced at $200, this little scanner will scan and organize all of your receipts and business cards into categories of your choosing. AND it's portable, so if you travel you can take it with you and keep yourself organized on the road!

2. Store your important financial documents and passwords on a secure online storage site and save yourself from the nightmare of dealing with a un-backed up computer crash. We recently started using Orggit.com which offers free storage of up to 100MB for your scanned receipts and financial documents in a secure and central spot to reference all of your banking and online passwords.

What's your secret to keep your financial documents organized? Or tell us your organizational fails, for instance, when we discovered that Smart Cookie Robyn used to keep her bills and important docs in her microwave!
