From The EveryGirl

Making resolutions is one thing, and keeping them - a totally different effort! In this piece at The EveryGirl, I took a look at my favorite ways to think about financial goals at the beginning of the year.

One of the things I always struggle with is my monthly budget setting. I often forget to track small purchases-which really adds up! I also sometimes get a little lazy around month end, not planning what to do with any excess cash, or using a credit card to cover extras that sneak up on me. This year I’m working hard to break bad financial habits as I focus on a bigger goal so I’m putting all of these tips in practice myself!

I’m starting to save up for a house - what are you trying to save for this year?
