24 Dec Financial New Year’s resolutions to make in 2021
It’s that time of year to trim the fat – both physically and financially.
Each year, millions of Americans make New Year’s resolutions for the upcoming year. Resolutions to continue good practices, change undesirable traits or behaviors, accomplish goals – personal and professional – and ultimately improve their lives. The most common ones include exercising more and saving money.
Add these financial New Year’s resolutions to your list for 2021:
- Create financial goals. In order to make progress towards any resolution, goals need to be identified first. What are your financial goals? Are you hoping to earn a degree or pay off the rest of your student loans? Buy a home? Contribute more to your employer’s 401(k)? Be specific when creating your financial goals to improve your chances of success.
- Finally stick to a budget… or at least fill it out. Sticking to a budget can be challenging. If you’ve had struggles with sticking to your budget each year, make it a resolution to at least track your spending each month. Reconcile your bank statements monthly by matching your bank statement with your receipts or credit card statements. This helps you to first understand how much you’re spending and where money is going. It can also help you identify leaks and where you may be going over on your budget, as well as if fraudulent charges have been made.
