Make 2014 your best financial year yet

5…4…3…2…1!

The ball drops. Friends, family, and all those folks on TV cheer for a fresh start in 2014 – “out with the old, in with the new!”

Each new year brings a sense of promise and of hope. The close of the year allows us to push the “restart” button – no matter the trials and tribulations of family and relationships, that light in your car’s dash that you’ve been putting off, or maybe the disappointment of your favorite sports team. It all begins anew!

And each year we make resolutions. To lose weight, to save money, to achieve a promotion, to read more. But if you’re like us, some of those resolutions seem to be repeated year after year…after year. Somehow they don’t quite stick. Maybe it’s because they weren’t realistic. But more likely than not, we made goals without planning how we would actually reach them or they were just too hard.

We’re all busy and we’re all human – we need to see progress quickly and we need to see it often. And we need it to be easy if it’s going to fit into our already hectic lives.

This year, let’s get back to basics. Let’s make it simple. Let’s set our financial foundation straight and do it painlessly.

Over each of the next four days Emerge will share one foundational thing we all can do to make 2014 a great year for our wallets.

Stay tuned for your 2014 Financial Resolutions!
