5 Financial Resolutions to Start 2020 Off Right

It's common to resolve to do better in life at the start of a new calendar year. And while pledging to eat healthier, exercise more, and spend less time on social media are all positive changes you might implement in the coming year, your finances probably need your attention, too. Here are a few money-related resolutions that'll help you begin 2020 on a positive note.

Without a budget, you'll have no real way to track your spending, which could hurt your savings efforts. If you're without a budget, carve out an hour or so to look through your bank and credit card statements from the past year and compare your total monthly spending against your total earnings. You'll have an easier time knowing where to cut back to meet your remaining financial goals.
