It looks as though the odds are stacked against me in my pursuit to get out of debt and save some money in 2008. Over at Consumerism
Commentary, Flexo talks about the resolutions that people make on New Years. One of the favorites over the years – people vow to save more, pay off debt, and reduce spending. You and I know that most people fail in a matter of weeks. I’m no different.
However, Flexo also points out what worked well for him in 2007, and I think he makes an important point.
I did well sticking with my financial goals for 2007 because I wrote them down (and published them online), had a plan, and stuck with it.
I, too, plan to take this same approach – blog about my progress and hold myself accountable. I guess only time will tell if I can beat the odds. How about you – any New Year’s resolutions that you hope to stick to and make happen?
