New Year’s Resolutions on Life Support? Let’s Revive Them!

So here we are—January’s almost in the rearview mirror, and let’s be honest… how’s that New Year’s resolution looking? If yours is gasping for air, don’t worry—you’re not alone.

I’ve got my own goals for 2025—getting financially fit, maybe exercising more (we’ll see how that goes). But here’s the deal: resolutions don’t stick unless you break them down into small, actionable steps.

You can’t just say, “I’m going to lose 25 pounds in a month”—that’s a recipe for disappointment (and probably hunger). Samegoes for your finances. Instead of vague goals like “I’m going to save more” or “I’ll get better with money”, let’s make 2025 the year of real progress with small, strategic changes:

Audit your subscriptions – Do you really need 12 streaming services just to watch one show? 🤔
Name your savings accountsHawaii 2026 Fund sounds way more exciting than “Generic Savings”.
Automate your way to wealth – Set it and forget it. Savings should happen without you thinking about it.
Purge what you don’t need – Whether it’s unused subscriptions, old baseball cleats, or a storage unit you haven’t checked in years.
Set a ‘Treat Yourself’ Fund – Hitting goals should come with rewards. Bourbon of the Month Club, anyone? 🥃

These are just a few ideas, but I’d love to hear from you: What’s your financial resolution for 2025? Hit reply and let me know—I’ll even give you a nudge or two to help you stick with it.

Let’s make this the year we actually keep those resolutions. Deal?

Talk soon,
