Rule #5: Rely on the Happiness- and Success- Boosting Habit That Also Builds Wealth
I am a big believer that orderliness begets wealth. A pile of bills and statements—whether paid or not—is a sign that someone is clueless about what's coming in and going out. When you consciously open, read, and file away your bills and statements, you are connecting with your money and taking control of your life. Being organized also makes it infinitely easier to give yourself the financial health screenings I advocate month in and month out.
