Just recently I had a flat tire, and needed the spare one, so I popped the trunk and went dizzy! Where the heck did all this stuff come from? I ended up getting the car towed to the garage to get the tire changed. What should have been a simple, free, do-it-yourself tire change ended up costing me. I had to pay not only for the tow truck but for the mechanic’s service as well. Hard earned cash down the drain! Luckily for me, my friends organized a sort of intervention, where they sat me down and literally forced me to get myself organized! After a neck straining day of filing, boxing and labelling, I managed to clear out the boot. I had several surprises when I found things that I thought I had lost, and had replaced (kicked myself for spending my cash when it was in my boot all along). At the end of this little intervention, I had a new found appreciation for why staying organized is good for your personal finance.
Here are a few tips to get yourself organized:

If youre one of the thousands of people hitting the slopes this year, checking youre covered by suitable travel insurance is essential – have an accident on the slopes without decent cover and you could end up paying for it.
Before you jet off to enjoy your skiing holiday you need to make sure your travel insurance is up to scratch or your holiday could end up costing you more than you bargained for.
Most travel insurance policies don’t cover winter sports as standard. This is due to the increased risk these activities represent and the huge costs of rescuing someone who is injured on the mountain side.
This is why you shouldn’t just go for the cheapest policy but look for the cover you need at the best available price – after all a cheap insurance policy isn’t worth the money if you’re not covered when you need to claim.
But what exactly are you paying the extra for? Here are the 8 things you need to make sure your travel insurance covers you for before you hit the slopes.

First Direct has become the first UK bank to introduce a transactional banking app for Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch .
The app, which has launched on the Apple App Store, enables first direct customers to check balances, view the last 20 account transactions, make payments and transfer money between accounts .
UK customers will now be able to make transactions via their smartphone . While Natwest, RBS and Ulster Bank all have dedicated iPhone applications, these provide only a simple form of online banking such as letting users check their account balance and view a mini-statement.
Matt Colebrook, chief executive at the bank, said: “This is about making the banking experience simpler and quicker, allowing our iPhone enabled customers to access key features of our internet banking whenever they want and wherever they want. The iPhone App is as a huge step forward, but it’s just the beginning of our ambitions for mobile banking . Our plans for 2011 are to make our ‘on the go’ mobile service available on other smartphone devices.”
