Knowing that a successful year will not materialize on its own, we must plan and prepare for a prosperous 2013.
Throughout the 31 days of January, I will choose one topic each day to prepare or schedule for this year.
Without preparation, I know I will forget, miss, or overlook certain items. If you desire an organized year, then join me in this adventure of Planning for Success for a prosperous 2013.

Day 9: Highlight Contract and Subscription Expiration Dates
In using time wisely, highlighting your contract and subscription expiration dates on your calendar will save you money, energy, and time. If your contracts or subscriptions expire and the services continue, you will end up paying full price. Ouch!
Since I do not like paying full price for anything, I highlight my contract and subscription expiration dates on my calendar.
Contracts Expiration Dates to Note
- Cable services
- Cell phones
- Insurance policies
- Internet services
- Rental agreements
- Warranties
Subscription Expiration Dates to Note
- Magazines
- Medications
- Newspapers
With these items on my calendar, I can renew, adjust, change, or cancel these contracts and subscriptions before incurring higher costs. In checking our subscriptions, I found that our newspaper subscription expires within the next few weeks. Before the price goes up, I will call to negotiate a lower rate or cancel our subscription.
In planning for success, highlight your contract and subscription expiration dates. As you continue working to save your hard-earned dollars, keep track of these deadlines by marking them in your planning tool. Happy savings!
Question: What additional contracts and subscriptions did I miss?
