, 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?
