Yesterday, I told you I was going to point out the spinach in your teeth, and wrote about the time cost of being disorganized. Today, I’ll move on to financial implications.
Being disorganized costs you money.
• You get late fees.
• You make duplicate purchases because the original item is missing.
• You buy food that spoils before you use it.
• You paid for food that sits on the shelf uneaten because you don’t have anything to go with it.
• You eat out, not because you want to, but because you have to when you can not decide what to cook, do not have the supplies, or have not allowed yourself the time in the day necessary to cook.
• You spend extra money on supplies to clean and maintain the extra items.
• You spend full price because you do not have time to look for the bargains/ sales, or to use coupons.
• You spend money on organizing products without a clear idea of how you intend to use them, so then don’t use them.
• You have a higher mortgage because you have to have a bigger house for all of your stuff.
• You may have rent to pay on a storage facility.
How many of these have caught you? Can you think of more examples? I’d love to hear your comments below.
