The custom of setting new year’s resolutions has been around for quite some time (as far as the 1700s, by some counts). People worldwide make promises to themselves to start or stop a behavior that is supposed to better their lives.
Some folks aim to kill their bad habits, like smoking, drinking or spending too much time on social media. Or they want to create a new good habit, like eating out less, setting aside more money from their pay, or exercising more.
Here’s the problem: we all start with the best intentions and high motivation, but by February, our momentum halts. Then we’re back where we started and make empty promises to ourselves that we’ll start again.
Often, we never do.
And – this phenomenon is the main reason gyms charge yearly fees with commitments. They are counting on you not showing up for more than a month or two.
So, instead of saying that you should start a resolution to save money this year, we’re going to try something a little different.
Our new year’s plan will be a ‘New Year, New You’ 30 Day Challenge!
Every day this month, I give you a small, actionable to-do that will help you get on top of various aspects of your finances! This is not a resolution – but a revolution!
If you want to talk with me to go over anything you read here or get some more ideas on how to get your finances in check, I’d love to hear from you!
