I’m a consistent exerciser at Orangetheory Fitness. This means I see a group of people who start with the best intentions at the New Year, but the motivation typically doesn’t last through Valentine’s Day. I get it. It’s HARD to make new habits.
That’s why I wonder how helpful are financial resolutions? I asked my planners this very question…
Sam Kirby: “Financial resolutions, whether made in January or June, can be wildly successful……if you’re willing to commit the time and energy to making changes. Writing down goals, tracking progress, and holding yourself accountable are key. In that respect, the habits for tracking the resolution almost become more important than the resolution itself!”
Joann Nieciecki: “Sometimes those New Year’s resolutions can be a bit too much, right? We aim high, and then end up feeling like we let ourselves down. I’ve learned that making gradual improvements to habits and behaviors over time tends to work better in the long run.”
There you have it. Is gaining clarity over your personal financial situation one of YOUR New Year’s resolutions? Then I recommend you chat with us sooner than later… you can find out more about that here.
