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

Published 4 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! Do you put most of your purchases on your credit card and pay them off at the end of the month? While that’s a great money habit, you may be carrying more risk than you realize. Here's a question: Do you charge purchases today knowing you'll pay them off with your next paycheck? It feels harmless enough, right? That's called credit card float. And while it can feel as breezy as a lazy river ride, it may be hiding some murky waters beneath the surface. When you pay for something...

Hi Reader! Zero-Based Budgeting. 50/30/20 Rule. 70/20/10 Rule. Cash Stuffing. Pay-Yourself-First. Anti-Budget. No-Spend Challenge. Mindful Spending. There are so many buzzwords and trendy opinions around how to manage your money. But how do you choose? Which one is actually right for you? Finding the right system can feel a little like Goldilocks trying to find the right bed. Not every approach fits just right. It takes time to get comfortable and start seeing results.

Hi Reader! Are you getting a tax refund this year? Refunds can feel like a gift from above (pennies from heaven!), and they generate a lot of excitement. But without a little planning, that excitement can work against you. A windfall, whether it is a refund, a bonus, or a gift, has a way of sparking big dreams. We start mentally spending it the moment we hear it's coming: pay down debt, build up savings, finally make that purchase we've been putting off, book that vacation. And honestly? That...
