Your “financial house” is a metaphor for all the aspects that make up your overall financial health, including the information found on your financial reports, any debt you have, your budget and your retirement planning and accounts. You might be on top of some of these “rooms” but neglected others — or maybe all the rooms your house has been collecting dust for years. If it has been a while since you have taken a complete look at your finances, it’s time to take out your mop and broom and clean house.
