New Year Resolution
2011-01-06
Lately I’ve been reading a lot of books about finance. Most of the books have been on the topic of taking financial control of your life. How to save money, how to invest money and how to live with less money. Sometimes it’s depressing to think about saving money for your future life in 30 years, but I figure starting early is the best strategy.
For 2011 my New Year’s resolution is be ‘’financial fit’’. Just like you get your body fit/in shape for the New Year, you can get your money fit/in shape by organizing your finances. I’ve been keeping all the receipts for everything I spend money on for a few months now. I put the amount of money I spend into separate categories on an Excel worksheet. This way I can see where I spend too much money and where I can save. It’s amazing how much money you can spend on little items like vending machine drinks and rice balls from the convenience store. In 2011 I hope I can reach my financial goal; spend less and save more!
