  • You're listening to life kit from NPR.

  • Hey, everybody, it's Marielle.

  • There are these things that you're supposed to do every day, week, month and year to stay healthy.

  • Like brush your teeth twice a day, floss once a day, shower every so often, go to the doctor, get that colonoscopy, move your body at least 150 minutes per week.

  • I know it's a lot and we're not doing all of these things consistently.

  • Give yourself a break.

  • Do your best.

  • The reason I bring this up is that there's a version of this for your financial health.

  • When it comes to money, there are certain things you should do to take care of yourself.

  • And they have a cadence daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly.

  • You could almost plot them out on a calendar.

  • On this episode of Life Kit, we're going to walk through that calendar with you.

  • We'll talk about the super practical stuff.

  • You know, here's when to check on your tax withholdings and your investment accounts.

  • But we'll also go beyond the number.

  • Crunching because something I always tell people is the overwhelmed, overstimulated, exhausted brain cannot engage in financial planning.

  • That's coming up after the break.

  • Okay, we're going to start with an exercise.

  • It comes from Brent Weiss, who co founded a financial advice company called Facet and has a whole bunch of letters.

  • After his name, right, a little bit of the Alphabet soup.
