Happy New Year!

Ahhh….New Year’s Resolutions. They’ve become almost as American as apple pie and fear of terrorism. But are they really useful? We’ve all made them (myself included) and by April or May (if that long), those resolutions have long been forgotten. One question that I have always had is: “Why do we wait until January 1 to make changes in our lives?” If you got something in your life that’s screwed up or needs improvement, why not make the change right away? If you want to lose 30 lbs, why wait until January? Chances are, if you wait until January, you may end up needing to lose more than 30 lbs. anyway. If that guy/girl in your life is irking your last nerve, why wait until he/she stresses you to the point of drinking on New Year’s? Save yourself the grief, and get rid of him/her ASAP.

On the other hand, there are those few who find it helpful to make those resolutions for January, and they actually follow them through to the end of the year. If you happen to be one of those few, kudos! You’ve achieved something that many of us never could. Another note: Should one of those resolutions be getting your finances in order, please stay tuned for upcoming posts. There will be small tips and tidbits of information that just may help to get you on the right path of achieving your goal.
