What’s your least favorite personal finance task?

September 2nd, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

What is your least favorite personal finance task? Is it creating and maintaining a budget, paying bills, analyzing your monthly spending, managing your health care expenses, keeping your financial documents organized, balancing your checkbook, or something else?

Which (if any) of these tasks would you consider outsourcing to a financial professional if you had the opportunity?

I generally love personal finance tasks, so this is like "what is your least favorite ice cream?" Here are my least favorites:

1. Budgeting – I don’t do it, my savings are automatically deducted and I spend the rest (I usually do have a lot left over, though).

2. Portfolio choices – Seeing those negative signs on your investments is tough.

I wouldn’t outsource anything to a financial planner; I know more about finances than most, though.

    I hate paying those bills…not because I can’t write a check (that’s easy) but because I don’t like to give the money away!

    I have had the opportunity to hire others to do this…I won’t…you’ve gotta trust someone a whole lot to let them handle your money – as much as I hate to pay the bills, I’d hate to be embezzled from even more!
