Personal Finance New Year's Resolutions

The tough part, of course, is keeping those resolutions.

I am double checking the forum. I guess I was curious about the type of resolutions people are making. I've concluded that if we each kept to our resolutions, so to speak, we will all have contributed to the making of quite a beauty stress free world. Best of luck to all.

is always good. I think that making a long list of abstract and difficult resolutions in asking for failure. Which is my list is short, and consists of resolutions that I can accomplish with some planning. Your resolution of self-discovery is a good one. And it's doable. Set aside one or two hours a week to devote to your resolution. It doesn't have to be all at once. Your resolution is one that can be done in 15 minute meditative blocks each day.

This is a great new year's resolution. You're never too young to prepare for the future! Especially with the economy as it is now...

I didn't give this much though till I read this post. I guess it's because I hear everybody start off each new year reciting their resolution for the new year. Only, shortly after, they have broken each one and lost their resolve to keep trying to keep their new year's resolutions. So, this is why I don't bother to have or make new years resolutions. However, since you asked so nicely, I guess if I had too...I would resolve to getting to know if I have some deep dark desire or want. I believe I am too busy to take the time necessary to find out the answer to this question. Hence, my resolution is to make the time necessary to discover what it is I truly want.

My New Year's resolutions include starting to prepare for my retirement years. I am still young; but I think now is the time we should do that. From what I hear and read about the future economic outlooks, it seems the obvious thing to do. Anyway, that's my New Year Resolution.

Congrats on recognizing this as desirable goal. Just remember -- all of you who make it a goal to get out of debt -- that a plan needs to be made. Be sure to sit down and work out a doable plan to reduce your debt this year.

Congrats and good luck on your resolution!

I wanted to join the thread with my New Year's goals. I prefer to say goals as resolutions now have the reputation of promises. They appear to be meant to be broken. Anyway, my goals for this new year include like the others getting out of debt and staying out of debt. Once, I achieve this; I believe all other things associated with my business will fall into its proper space.

In this new year, I commit to paying off my debts and establish a financial secure environment for myself.

My husband and I are resolving together this year to 1.begin a personal retirement savings plan and 2.to create a sound debt reduction plan and stick to it!

Becoming debt-free is a great New Year's Resolution! Just remember that a plan is needed in order to achieve any resolution. Best of luck to you in the coming year.

My New Year's Resolutions include becoming debt-free and maintain and ensure my financial stability.
