Read on to get familiar with some of the methods that can help you improve your financial state this year.
1. Determine your goals early and write them down
What are your financial goals for this year? Are you motivated to have a certain amount of money saved up by the end of 2016? Do you want to save money for a special occasion or trip? Do you just want to accumulate your wealth? Set your goals and write them down. But put what you wrote somewhere you can always see them, in order to stay motivated and focused on your goals. Some financial experts even suggest sharing your goals on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc as that way you would make a public statement that is likely to keep you committed and accountable.
If you get stuck on the road of achieving your goals, think about why you set them in the first place. What motivated you when you started your journey? That’s why it’s a good idea to have a vision board (or a diary) of what you want to accomplish as that can keep you going and constantly remind you of what you want and what you need to do in order to get it.
