Did you make 2018 financial goals ? My husband and I discussed some ideas over our holiday break and we decided on 2 solid must-achieve financial goals for the year. If we complete them early, we’ll move on to 2 additional goals that are on our radar. The Guidelines for 2018: 1. Restaurants.

Wonder what sets you apart from the people that seem to crush their financial goals? These folks didn’t corner the market on goal success either, instead they just got the task DONE. Their 2017 goal is to boost their savings rate and get their expenses down to $30,000 a year as they work towards financial independence.

2018 Update. Our 2019 Financial Goal. Happy New Year’s 2019: In January 2019, we were down to one final non-mortgage loan, so we created just one financial goal for the year—-to pay off that last non-mortgage debt by December. We can now move on to other financial goals.

After 20 years, I switched from Quicken software to You Need a Budget (YNAB) software in 2018 for our household. There’s a yearly fee and a learning curve, but I love YNAB and it helps me stay on budget and financially organized with our day-to-day checking and savings accounts. Update budgeting software on a regular basis.
