As everything winds down for the holiday season and people start thinking of their New Year’s resolutions, I want to shift your thinking about how you go about setting goals and resolutions. Because resolutions…they sort of suck. Studies show that fewer than 8% of people who set New Year’s resolutions actually achieve them. But there…
Many people might think that financial success is all about the money…I mean, yes, it is? In that it matters how much you can keep. And the more you keep, the more you can leverage that savings. But aside from investing strategy, there is so, soooooo much more to being financially successful. You might be…
I’ve been thinking a lot about my fitness journey over the past few years (two steps forward, one step back). Now, to be clear, I am not ULTRA FIT…I am just healthier, smaller and darn proud of making regular exercise a commitment in my life. But for my personal finance peeps, I think there are…
You might have guessed that since I am a planner professionally, that carries over into my personal life (which is a whole other thing than being organized…I can PLAN how I want things to go, but for some reason I am always running out of batteries and light bulbs…so I choose my battles). So YES,…

I always re-up this post welllll before Thanksgiving because I want to plant the seed… I think Thanksgiving is the perfect time to check in with family and friends about gift giving for the upcoming season. Ask them: How many times have you sat around the day after Christmas and vowed that next year —…
A while ago, I had a prospect say to me, “Mindy, this service is not cheap. Are you sure this will be worth it for me?” Honestly? Not at all… I can’t promise any kind of particular results when someone works with me on their personal finances, mostly because I’m not their mother and not…
I get asked ALL OF THE TIME for the best personal finance book out there (uh, mine!). But it really depends on your criteria, doesn’t it? I don’t believe that you can approach personal finance like a topic in school…which is the way a lot of people start out trying to do it. You think…
This week, I want to walk you through how to align your financial priorities with action. Why? Because it will completely change how you approach every aspect of your life that has to do with money.
