Title: New Year Financial Resolution
1New Year Financial Resolution
2Do you have any financial New Years resolution?
Its possible that most of them are on the verge
of being broken already. But, your finances are
one aspect of your life that you cant afford to
overlook this year.
3Set up a Plan for Paying off Your Debts
- Calculate the total amount of debt that you need
to pay in the year, which should include the
total amount you owe through your credit cards
and loans. - Then, identify the debt which carries the maximum
interest and pay more than its minimum monthly
payment amount, while continuing to pay the
minimum monthly amount on other debts.
4Save a Little Amount Every Month
- In order to meet other financial goals, such as
saving for the down payment on a home loan, auto
loan or for vacations, its important that you
have dedicated saving plans in the process. - First, calculate the amount you need to save
every month to meet all financial goals, and then
automate your savings through your bank account
or payroll deduction. - This will ensure you reach your financial goals
early enough by making some actual saving rather
than saving on and off.
5Invest Wisely
- Make sure anything you invest fits your current
needs. - Invest the money you have saved in low-risk
ventures or put it aside in accounts that will
grow like an IRA or 401k. - Divide your investments among stocks, bonds, and
cash. - Its safer to allocate your long-term investments
in a diversified portfolio.
6Chart a Savings Plan for You and Your Family
- Make a well-charted plan to meet your and your
familys financial needs. This could include
saving for your retirement or setting aside money
for your childs college education. - Saving through your employers retirement plan,
an IRA, an Education Savings Account, or US
Government Savings Bonds can help your family
save for rainy days, while saving you taxes as
well.
7Make S.M.A.R.T. Financial Goals
- S.M.A.R.T. financial goals should be specific,
measurable, achievable, realistic, and
time-bound. - Make sure all your financial goals are realistic
and easy to achieve. - Investing a large amount could drive you
off-track from meeting your financial needs,
while investing in shorter amounts could lead you
astray from your financial goals.
8Review Your Financial Progress Regularly
- Keep an eye on the progress of your financial
goals every quarter. - Review your credit report and take steps to
improve it. - Revisit your financial goals and revise some
goals if needed. - Adjust your goals and plans according to any
changes in tax laws, inflation rate, and market
fluctuations.
9When you break down your financial goals into
simple steps, it makes achieving your financial
goals a whole lot easier. Set aside some time to
put these resolutions into practice and make sure
you stick to them. A little effort in the
beginning of the year will yield tremendous
benefits at the end of the year.
