Marketing Scoops: Your Finances Need a Monthly Reset  | Online Marketing Tools | Scoop.it

At the start of the new year, many of us make big, ambitious resolutions to finally get our finances in shape. We vow to slash spending, pay off debt, or double retirement contributions. However, the unwieldy timeline and scope of these New Year’s resolutions often set us up for failure. Come February, most are abandoned as life gets in the way. There is a better approach than the once-a-year push for perfection. Rather than an annual overhaul, consider taking a mini financial reset each month. The beginning or end of the month provides a natural milestone to review finances and set realistic goals for the next 30 days, and this keeps your finances on track all year long.
