Pageonce Offers Three Easy Financial Fitness Resolutions for 2012

PALO ALTO, Calif. – January 5, 2012 – As Americans resolve to start fresh in 2012, many want to improve their financial fitness. From tackling debt and saving more to just getting organized, Pageonce, the popular daily finance service for mobile devices, provides simple advice and a powerful tool to help Americans take control of their money and bills.

“Money is cited as one of the leading causes of stress in America. 2012 is the year to take the fear out of finances,” said Guy Goldstein, Pageonce CEO. “Americans have the power to take back control, and technology is here to help. If you can reduce financial stress, you can actually relax and enjoy life more.” 

Resolutions for Financial Fitness:

• Tame debt and improve credit. Start by changing how you use credit cards. The average American household has nearly $15,000 in credit card debt. Regain control by paying off the card with the highest interest rate first and as quickly as possible. Utilizing less of your available credit will boost your credit score, which is often reviewed by lenders, landlords, car companies and even employers. Also, pay your bills on time to improve your credit score.
  


• Start paying yourself. With all of life’s daily expenses, saving may seem impossible. Make it a priority to pay yourself a percentage of your monthly income, which is automatically put into a separate account. Once it’s done, you won’t even miss it. Make this money accessible by keeping it in something like a money market account.
  


• Simplify your finances. Take advantage of technology to streamline your financial life. Set up electronic bill pay, track accounts online, and reduce the stress of managing finances. Consolidate credit cards and bank accounts, and get rid of paper clutter with online bill pay. If you have a smartphone or tablet, use it as a financial tool that gives you remote control anytime, anywhere.
