Hey Kiddo!
This weekend, protect your home, family, and finances with four essential maintenance tasks:
HVAC, dryer, and leak inspection: Replace your HVAC filter, clean your dryer lint trap, and check sinks/toilets/pipes for leaks to prevent house fires, respiratory issues, and water damage that can cost $3K-30K+ in repairs
Vehicle restraint safety check: Inspect seatbelts, car seats, and booster seats for wear, proper installation, and expiration dates to prevent catastrophic injuries—proper restraints reduce fatal injury by 71% for infants and 54% for toddlers
Tax preparation: Start collecting W-2s, 1099s, and deduction receipts now to avoid 5-25% failure-to-file penalties, IRS collection actions, and forfeiting your average $3,000+ refund
Debt and loan review: Review all debt statements, interest rates, and credit reports to catch errors, identify refinancing opportunities that can save $100K+ over a mortgage's life, and protect your credit score from drops that cost thousands annually
These simple tasks require just 2-3 hours but can save $106K-447K+ in catastrophic repairs, medical expenses, tax penalties, and interest while keeping your family safe and financially secure.
