It’s December 31, and it’s time to make another New Year’s Resolution. Think back to your resolution last year. Did you achieve your New Year’s Resolutions? Did you make a New Year’s Resolution? Now, it’s a year later from the last time we all made a new years resolution, did you stick to your resolution and achieve your goal?
Wikipedia defines a new year’s resolution as “a commitment that an individual makes to a project or the reforming of a habit, often a lifestyle change that is generally interpreted as advantageous.”
The most common New Year’s resolutions involve personal finance and personal health. People set New Year’s resolutions in hopes of achieving a goal. I personally think that people should set goals anytime during the year that they want to work towards something, and make a change in their life. People set New Year’s Resolutions in the hopes of paying down debt, stop smoking, and commit to working out more during the week.
Do you set New Year’s resolutions? If you do, did you achieve your last few years goal? Life is about goals and we should all be working towards something. Otherwise what are we doing every day?
Here are some financial posts from around the web about New Year’s resolutions:
