New Year, New Money Habits: Financial Resolutions That Stick

Life Planner

With the New Year comes a fresh start, and what better way to kick off the year than by setting financial resolutions that actually stick? Many people make resolutions to save more, spend less, or pay off debt, but by the end of January, most of these goals are forgotten. In this post, we’ll discuss how to make financial resolutions that are sustainable and effective throughout the year.

Why Financial Resolutions Fail

Studies show that around 80% of New Year’s resolutions fail by February. Financial resolutions are no exception. The problem often lies in the goals being unrealistic, vague, or lacking structure. Without a clear plan, it’s easy to fall back into old habits. But don’t worry! There’s a way to set yourself up for success.

How to Make Financial Resolutions That Stick

Here are a few tips to help you stick to your financial goals in 2025:

  • Be Specific: Instead of saying "I want to save more money," set a clear target, like "I will save $200 per month for the next 12 months." This gives you a measurable goal to track.
  • Start Small: Financial habits take time to build. Start by making small changes, like setting aside a specific amount each week, rather than overhauling your entire financial situation.
  • Track Your Progress: Use tools like the Life Planner app to track your spending, savings, and goals. Seeing your progress will motivate you to stay on course.
  • Be Accountable: Share your goals with a friend or family member who can keep you accountable. Alternatively, use the Life Planner app’s habit tracking feature to stay on track.
