The Penny Post: What are your New Year’s Resolutions?

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader!

61% of people with New Year's resolutions want to be better with money, second only to getting healthier at 79%.

You are far more likely to succeed with a support system and professional guidance. Extra support provides the accountability, knowledge, and backup you need to overcome obstacles you’ll face on your journey. It keeps you on track to your goals. And importantly, working with others makes it more enjoyable - even when it gets hard.

Finding the right pros to help is key. You want people who are both knowledgeable and a good fit for your personality. Professionals who can create an actionable plan and provide ongoing support. They can help you understand the root causes of past failures and provide strategies for long-term change.

So if you are working with a personal trainer at the gym for your health, who do you work with for your money?

A financial coach is just like a personal trainer - but instead of smaller waistlines and bigger biceps, we can help you get smaller debts and bigger budgets. Whatever your financial goal, I can get you there faster and easier.

If you have a financial goal you would like to achieve this year, schedule a FREE Penny for Your Thoughts Q&A Call. I can help make 2026 a year of success.

Remember, small change adds up. Step by step and penny by penny, we’re building a better life. Have a shiny day!

Laura

Hi Reader! It’s that time of year when everyone seems to have a March Madness bracket to fill out. The office pool, the neighborhood bar, the family chat - everyone is weighing in with their picks. Now, I could give you my best tips for picking a winner (I pick by cutest mascot, of course), but I’m going to suggest a different type of contest. Having discretionary or fun money is essential to sticking with a budget. A restrictive diet rarely works long-term, and money is no different. But the...

Hi Reader! What is your favorite holiday? Is it the sparkly joy of Christmas? The summer vibes of July 4th? The creativity and mystery of Halloween? Mine is Pi Day. March 14th or 3.14 celebrates the day that matches the mathematical constant pi: the relationship between a circle’s circumference (its outer edge) and its diameter (its width). The delightful quirk that pi, a circle equation, sounds like pie, a circular food, creates a holiday that celebrates math, food, and puns - what could be...

Hi Reader! Let the Good Times Roll! Parties, parades, music, and food - Mardi Gras is known for fun, indulgence, and excess. But when you are on a budget, you may feel like you have to choose between being frugal and saying no to a social life or going out and blowing through the budget. It doesn’t have to be either extreme. But it can mean some strategic planning and communication. When money is tight and your friends have big plans, you have three options. Say thanks, but not right now....
