Creating a comprehensive special needs binder for a child can be immensely helpful for parents, caregivers, educators, and healthcare providers. The medical records, charts, immunizations, medications, and doctor's notes - all have to be carefully recorded and kept in one place and easily accessible. Our kids grow differently so, instead of having a typical growth chart, I recommend having a chart reflecting your child’s developmental phases, milestones reached, a plan for learning goals, social activities, etc. In today's episode, I will be talking about how to organize a simple binder DIY for a child with Special needs.

Welcome to the Simple Money Systems podcast, where simple is more and more simple. I am so happy you joined me! In this episode, I will be discussing a hot topic about how to break through the spending cycle and how to gain confidence and peace of mind when it comes to your daily finances.
The first thing you need to know is what is coming in. I mean what we think about, what we allow ourselves to listen, to look at, with whom we associate, and even how we were raised and what beliefs we still keep that isn’t working. This will identify how much money is coming into your budget and also the way this money is coming.
The next important point to get you out of the spending wheel is to know your needs.
And the most important and the most fun point is to know your dreams.

Ok, let's organize and automate your bill pay! Have all your Bills available for one-time set-up only. I like to have paper copies with account numbers, mailing addresses, and telephone numbers for every payee. You may add payees to your bill pay as you go, but I prefer to have them all set up at one time for easier budgeting and money allocation. Enter all your bills one by one, and double-check all the details like account numbers and payee mailing address. And you are ready to make payments! Easy as that! In my simple budgeting coaching, I have a worksheet to help you organize your bill pay where you list all your payees with monthly amounts for easy money allocation and to budget specifically for Bill Pay. Now, you are ready to enter all your bills each with the amount and due date. Now you have a nice list with all upcoming bills to pay and with the available amount right in your online bill pay. So what happens when it's time for the bill to be paid? How the money are paid? Your bank actually does the job: when the bill's due date approaches a bank cuts a paper check, a real professionally looking paper check for you and delivers it to your payee, friends all free of charge! If you are already using online bill pay you can easily agree with me, it's amazing! And if you have bills that are the same amount every month then you can automate them, saving you some time. I recommend using online Bill Pay for all your checking account transactions and all others, I simply use a credit card. Only remember to add your credit card bill to your Bill Pay so every month you can pay off your credit card balance. With the Bill Pay system in place, you can check all your upcoming payments which makes it easy to see if you have enough money in your bank.
If you feel a little bit unsure, let me walk with you and help create a simple budget for your bill pay to ensure you have enough money to cover all your bills. We will come up with a strategy not only to get your bills paid on time but how to pay off your debt, one by one whether it's your outstanding credit card balances, your car loan, or if you like to create a special fund for a specific purpose. We will work on your goals list to ensure your dreams come true. I have easy worksheets to help you step by step with daily homework assignments. Just imagine watching your money work for you – with the simple budgeting tool that you will love.
