The Consumer SmartCalendar reminds you of many things consumers can do throughout the year to remember events, improve their finances and maintain the condition of their homes.  When you take just one minute to glance at it each month, you’ll be able to plan the month much better. It’s a public service for which I receive no money, nor does it even have any display ads.

I use it to pop up reminders to brush my teeth because half the time I forget! Next time you forget to do something, come and get the SmartCalendar: you’ll relax knowing you’ve got automatic reminders, instead of enduring the stress of having to remember everything.

Its consumer tips are very helpful.  For example, you’ll remember to inspect your home to prevent ruinous disasters like termites, mold and fires. Tips are divided into five categories:

Financial
   Home
Spending
  Taxes
  College Prep (optional)
(And Coming Soon: A Kids category with dozens of kid-friendly ideas)

It’s really as easy to use as a paper calendar.  This little page tells everything you need to know to enjoy all its benefits.  Simply moving your mouse arrow over nearly anything on the calendar will display a helpful tip.

Scroll down to the “Add Reminder” section of SmartCalendar.  Using this feature, you could add birthdays or an anniversary, or remind yourself of your periodic meetings, tasks or events. You simply fill in a date, name it, and click one button to specify how often it occurs (weekly, yearly, one time, etc.)  After you’ve entered all your reminders, click “Save Changes” at the top of the screen.  This will save the calendar to your list of favorite bookmarks, with all the reminders you’ve entered.

Another very helpful feature you’ll see on SmartCalendar is “Print 3-Month Calendar”. It prints a one-page calendar that will remind you of all your important dates coming up. You can fold it to one-third size and stick in with your bills. Never again will you forget a to-do item that’s important to your finances or home maintenance.

Checking your SmartCalendar each month is automatic:  Simply add it to your list of “home pages.” An article written just a couple of days ago shows exactly how.
