2025’s Top Money Trends You Need to Track
The financial world is constantly evolving, and 2025 is shaping up to be a year of transformation. From the rise of digital currencies to a greater focus on sustainability in investing, there’s a lot happening in the world of money. But with change comes the need for a proactive approach to managing your finances. One way to do this is by leveraging the power of financial journaling, a habit that helps you track your money journey while staying in tune with trends. Let’s dive into some of the most significant money trends of 2025 and how journaling can help you stay on top of them.
Trend 1: The Rise of Digital Currencies
In 2025, digital currencies, like cryptocurrencies and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), are expected to be more widely accepted. This shift presents new opportunities—and challenges—for your finances. To track your digital currency investments, you can use journaling to record price fluctuations, your personal feelings toward these investments, and any news or events that might affect their value. This process will help you stay informed and make confident decisions in an unpredictable market.
Trend 2: Sustainability in Investment
As climate change becomes an increasingly urgent issue, many investors are shifting their focus to sustainable investments. In fact, studies show that 55% of millennials prioritize environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in their investment choices. By using a financial journal to track your ESG investments, you can keep tabs on your portfolio’s performance while ensuring it aligns with your values. Write down your thoughts on new companies you’re considering investing in, and reflect on how your sustainable investments are performing over time.
Trend 3: The Gig Economy and Side Hustles
More people than ever are relying on side hustles and the gig economy to boost their income. In fact, in 2025, over 50% of the workforce is expected to engage in freelance or gig-based work. Journaling allows you to track your income streams, compare them, and set specific goals for growing your side hustle. With the Life Planner app, you can use the Habit Tracker to track how many hours you’re putting into your gig, and the Goal Tracker to monitor your income targets.
Trend 4: The Rise of Personal Finance Technology
2025 will see even more advancements in personal finance technology, from budgeting apps to AI-driven investment platforms. These tools can help you manage your finances with greater precision, but it’s still important to write things down. Journaling will help you reflect on how these technologies are affecting your spending habits, savings goals, and overall financial well-being. Regular journaling helps you stay grounded and ensures that tech tools don’t take the place of the mindful money habits you need to develop.
