3 Easy Ideas To Get A Jump-Start Your New Years Resolutions

December 20, 2019 Stu Q

Christmas time is here, but it will be gone before you know it. This means the new year is right around the corner. With a new year comes the added notion of needing to change some things in your life. It could be saving money, starting a new career, getting out of debts, or losing weight. The lists go on and on. However, the list is up to you. Which means you don’t need to plan for a massive overhaul to your life. It can be simple changes you make to your day to day or even a minor change once to affect your year.

Simple Change #1

Revisit your budget. Yes, although I harp of the budget thing constantly, it the lifeblood and backbone of your financial success. Take another pass through the budget. Is it all working how you want it to? Are you saving the money you need to? Take a fresh look at how all of your money is moving through the accounts and fix any issues. It is something you can take care of on day 1 of the new year!

Simple Change #2

Work on some side hustles to get some extra money. Some of you may have some side hustles you are working on, but aren’t very committed to making money off of them. In the new year, take some time of the weekends or a late night here and there to invest in yourself to get some extra money. Even a little bit of money every once in awhile will help you make an impact in your life. In addition, you will have a better sense of accomplishment from the year.

Simple Change #3

Start the process of looking for a new career. Although this one might not be as simple, it will certainly make an impact. Even if you do not find something for awhile, it will still provide a sense of accomplishment for getting the process started. So many of us want to make a change in our careers, but we are never motivated enough to actually get it started. Getting your resume cleaned up and updated as well as getting it out there will get you that much farther in the process.

The new year will have new challenges, problems, and surprises. Why not make the effort to take control of some of the things and make them what you want? Set yourself up for this year and many more to come!
