Smart Goals
This is your year! When it comes to setting smart goals, most of us have the best intentions. You’re finally going to take control of your money. Get fit. Start a new hobby. Yada yada.
But here’s the thing. Most of us won’t actually do any of that. Setting goals for yourself is absolutely the right thing to do, but just having good intentions alone changes nothing. You can make resolutions all you want—but a resolution without a plan is just wishful thinking. So, how can you stick with your goals throughout the year?
Make SMART goals.

The ABC's of Financial Peace
The ABC's of Financial Peace
A = Accept (the debt sucks, it's time to change)
B= Budget (my new favorite word)
C= Calculator (it's the only accessory you need in 2020, it should be stuck on you like that Clapper life line thing)
D= Debt. The enemy. Know your debt well and annihilate it
E = Ego. Get over it. You aren't your neighbor or sister or the Jones's next door. Focus on you
F= Failure. Is. Not. An. Option.
G= Greed. Enough said. Don't fall for it.
H= Handle it. If you are waking up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night, start reading up on what to do to handle your debt, make a plan, acknowledge it and handle it.
I = income. You need more. Get the side gig, take the overtime, make your kids pay for their own phones.
J= Justify. if you feel you have to justify the purchase out loud...you can't afford it.
K= Kindness. You can't afford to buy wrapping paper for the school soccer team or candles for homeless snails. If you want to be kind, make that big donation when you get to B7. Don't forget them.
L= Lazy. Your budget and finances are a full time job. Commit to it every day. Don't be lazy.
M= Money Management. It's the new algebra or Latin. Learn it. Practice it. Stop being afraid of it.
N= No-one. No one else is in your shoes but you. Nevermind everyone else. Stick to you and your path.
O= Overbudget. A thing of the past.
P= Plan, plan, plan.
Q= Questions, ask. ask. ask.
R= Rigor. Set goals, make a plan, pursue it rigorously. Let nothing stop you. Nothing.
S= Save. the returnable bottles, the change on the floor of the car, the random dollar in the wash, the extra from your little bonus...save, save, save.
T= Trust. Trust you, trust the steps, trust that you can do this. Especially on the days you think you absolutely cannot.
U= Unavoidable. There are going to be unavoidable obstacles. Prepare. Be ready.
V= Victory. That debt free scream. That is you. You will get there.
W= Why. Because you are tired of being broke. Period.
X= the mark of crossing off a paid-down debt
Y= YOU ARE WORTH IT
Z= Zero debt. Zero debt.
Go get it this year. xo
