We made one big financial goal for 2019 and are striving and working hard to make progress. Our goal for 2019 is NOT to feel deprived, but rather find creative ways to get through the year without unnecessary spending. Do you buy groceries, but have nothing to eat? Are you buying too many clothes with an already packed closet?

When that loan was paid off, we put that full monthly amount towards the third loan and this continued until September 2019 when we made our last non-mortgage loan payment. We methodically worked through our plan and in September 2019 we were treated with the ultimate reward for our hard work– freedom from our non-mortgage debts!

If nothing changes, this loan will be paid off by end of 2019, but I’d love to move that up and say adios to this loan! If not, we’ll start saving in 2019. While I love thrift stores, I can be easily swayed to run into Target, TJ Maxx, and/or Kohl’s when I feel like I need something. Save for a camper upgrade.

Pre-coronavirus, we didn’t think twice about shaking a stranger’s hand, using the ATM keypad, or going to the grocery store without donning a hazmat suit. We didn’t have enough cash saved to buy a car without a loan and that wasn’t sitting well with me. I have been using it ever since.

Just watch the news around Thanksgiving, and you’re likely to see hordes of people lining up well in advance of when stores open. If you set aside a maximum amount of money that you’re prepared to spend, you may feel less inclined to buy the items you’re not 100% committed to. Impulse buys can add up quickly.

One retail innovation we believed would be big in 2017 was the change in how people buy. This has a huge impact on how and where people buy – and how retailers need to adapt omni-channel strategies to include this new purchasing channel. It spans across all aspects of retail from buying, to shipping to even returning merchandise.
