Tune Up Your Finance Resolutions

Now that you have started making your 2022 resolutions such as to eat healthy, exercise more, and do more for the community, it is time to act on your finance resolutions. Maybe you made finance goals at the end up 2021, but let's tune them up and make sure you are set for 2022. Here are some tips to accomplish your finance goals:

1) Stay current on student loans.
Pay the minimum monthly payment and use extra money to invest.

2) Not all debt is bad.
"Being debt-free doesn't give you a great credit score. Being responsible with debt gives you a good credit score," Jacquette Timmons added. "Use your credit card. Pay it off fully at the end of the month. You don't have to go into debt. Companies just want to see that you pay your bills."

3) Reflect on 2021 in order to make changes for 2022.
Where am I at with my investments? What kind of savings do I want to have? What am I saving for? What worked, what didn't work, what lessons did you learn? If you aren't already, start tracking your finances; there are many apps to help with that. Look for financial patterns. What's the point of moving forward if you're not being intentional? You want your financial decisions to support your goals.

4) Keep an emergency savings account, but cap it.
Emergency savings accounts are great. Put the money in the highest interest-bearing account you can find and still keep it liquid. Cap that emergency account between 3-6 months of fixed expenses and invest after that. Maybe you have an account for emergency situations, another for a goal you are trying to reach. Timing is a good way to determine if you should keep your money accessible. If your goal is going to be achieved in 0-5 years, that needs to stay liquid. If your goal is more than 6 years away, then you can invest it and look for a higher return.

If you need help making your finance resolutions, don’t hesitate to schedule a meeting with Brien Smith at Traditions Wealth Advisors or call 979-694-9100.
