How are those 2019 New Year’s resolutions going?
Was one goal to improve your financial situation? Have you made a start?
Getting control of your finances is one of the hardest things to do. If it was easy, we’d all be disciplined savers who don’t waste money but the reality is many of us spend more than we earn and are gradually drowning in debt. Changing the habits and patterns in our lives to fix this problem is one of the toughest jobs in life, akin to quitting smoking or lasting weight loss.
We all know that losing weight is about burning off more calories through activity and taking in less calories through food. That said if you are stuck in the cycle of weight loss followed by weight gain you know how hard it is make lasting changes to your activity and eating habits. We all know quitting smoking is about gradually weening ourselves off the nicotine cravings but for most it’s almost impossible to break those habits that lead to reaching for the packet.
With weight loss and quitting smoking, it’s often something people will try several times before they succeed. Some spend their whole lifetime continually trying. Why do we only try getting our finances in order once before we give up, or like most people never try at all?
Some people will take a few goes to get it right. Some will need some coaching to help them get on track. Some will need the added motivation of clarifying their real life goals. Some benefit from getting a clear view of the potential future. Some need some analysis of their spending patterns. Some need some accountability to someone.
What’s your 2019 goals and how serious are you about achieving them?
