Fibro Fog-Proof Your Finances: Add a Pair of Eyes
Fibromyalgia sufferer Tina Tidmore, 45, of Clay, Ala., turns not to a smart phone but to other people to stay on top of her finances.
"I was constantly getting notices in the mail that I made a math error on a deposit," Tidmore says.
"I finally learned to hand over the checks to the bank clerk and asked her to verify my math."
Don't want to turn to a stranger? Ask a trusted family member to go over bills or double check your math in your checkbook register.
Sometimes just knowing that a trusted family member or friend "has your back can help you remember passwords or [focus on] calculations," Giordano says.
Fibro Fog-Proof Your Finances: Put a Dragnet on Due Dates
Tidmore doesn't rely on her memory to keep track of bill due dates.
"I write the due date prominently on the outside of the envelope so I can easily spot [them]," she says.
This works only if you keep bills in the same place and check them on the same day each week, Giordano warns.
"Marking a bill or calendar as a reminder to make a payment is a quick and easy backup," he advises.
