If not- you should. Setting goals around your\nmoney and finances are more common than you would think. It doesn\u2019t have to be something\ndrastic either, but things like <a href=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/how-to-budget-for-the-first-time\/\">set a budget for\nyourself<\/a>, learning how to invest or investing in yourself, making your <a href=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/what-does-your-savings-account-look-like\/\">savings\na priority<\/a>, getting out of <a href=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/the-revolving-debt-cycle-and-how-to-break-it\/\">debt<\/a>,\nand the list continues, are all options for setting yourself up for financial\nsuccess. In 2019, 32 percent of us had a New Year\u2019s resolution to save more or\nspend less or <a href=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/making-tough-financial-decisions-and-ones-you-wont-regret\/\">make\ntough financial choices this year<\/a>, but only about 8 percent of us were\nsuccessful in achieving them. Also according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/peter-economy\/10-top-new-years-resolutions-for-success-happiness-in-2019.html\" class=\"broken_link\">Inc<\/a>,\nsaving money is one of the top five New Year&#8217;s resolutions and also in the top\nfive&nbsp;for most commonly failed resolutions. So heading into the New Year, let\u2019s\ntry and make sure you don\u2019t fall into that statistic of failed resolutions and\nset yourself up for a successful year, no matter what your goals are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is no surprise that your wallet gets put to good use over\nthe holidays. It starts with Thanksgiving and that leads to Black Friday sales,\nwhich is also one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/8-simple-rules-for-smart-spending-on-black-friday-2019-11-27\">biggest\nshopping weekends of the year<\/a>. MarketWatch shares how in 2018, Black Friday\nresulted in Americans spending&nbsp;$6.2 billion, with more than&nbsp;170\nmillion people shopping and spending money over the Black Friday weekend in\n2017. This year,&nbsp;the average shopper is expected to spend&nbsp;about $400\nbetween Black Friday and Cyber Monday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then it feels like we are directly into the holiday\nseason. Especially because when it comes to Black Friday shopping, people start\nthinking of all the other gifts and items they needs for the holidays and to\nget started on their holiday shopping. Between gifts, holiday parties, decorations,\nand the many more unexpected items that pop up, it can be very easy to go over\nbudget when it comes to the holidays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/financial-edge\/1112\/average-cost-of-an-american-christmas.aspx\" class=\"broken_link\">Investopedia<\/a>\nshares a few statistics on how we find ourselves in the financial positions we\nare in over the holidays including: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>For 2019, industry experts expect the average American to spend $920 per person on holiday gifts, up from $885 in 2018 and reaching a total of more than $1 trillion in holiday spending.<br><\/li><li>Nearly every year since 2008, the amount of money that American consumers spend on holiday gifts has been increasing over the previous year.<br> <\/li><li>Over the past decade, e-commerce has captured an increasing amount of holiday spending market share, with many buying their toys, electronics, and jewellery online.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on these statistics, it is no wonder why we are going\nover budget when it comes to the holidays and feeling the pinch when your bills\nand credit card statements start coming in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t Suffer From the\nFinancial Holiday Hangover <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Budgeting for the holidays in December means you will be\nprepared when your bills arrive in January. It is when you find yourself\nfalling off budget and starting to spend money that you <a href=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/having-trouble-saving-money\/\">haven\u2019t planned on\nspending or making impulse purchases<\/a> that will lead you to the financial\nholiday hangover. All the little last minute purchases add up and it is these\nitems that you maybe haven\u2019t prepared for but are likely the ones to throw you\noff budget. And without a budget in place for the holidays, you want to be able\nto cover your costs come January and do not want your statements to arrive and\nyou not have a plan or are prepared to pay them all. We\u2019ve given you reasons on\nwhy you should always be&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/keeping-a-spending-journal\/\">keeping a spending\njournal<\/a>, and for the holidays this is no exception. When you know how much\nyou\u2019ve spent and what you\u2019re spending it on, it\u2019s much easier to keep track and\nsee what you owe come January. Because we know you\u2019re going to be using <a href=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/getting-the-most-out-of-your-credit-card\/\">credit\ncards<\/a> for purchases this holiday season (don\u2019t worry, we\u2019re guilty too), it\ncan be much easier to lose track when you don\u2019t have the numbers in front of\nyou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that the holidays are about spending quality time\nwith loved ones, not about how much you are spending. It is not about the\nnewest and coolest gift or most expensive of something, sentimental value goes\nmuch further. It may not always feel like that, especially because retail\nstores do a great job at making you feel like you need these items this holiday\nseason. Go with your gut and not your credit card when it comes to purchasing\ngifts this year so you don\u2019t get caught with a financial holiday hangover. And\nas always, if you do get caught up when your statements start coming in, don\u2019t\nstress &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/why-us\">GoDay is here <\/a>to help you get\nback on track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Start With Something\nSmall<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news about New Year&#8217;s resolutions is that you get a fresh start with them each year. You want to give yourself your best shot at success and by setting a goal that\u2019s doable \u2014 and meaningful too because a lot of New Year\u2019s resolutions fail because they are not the right resolutions for you. When it comes to setting new financial goals for the New Year, it doesn\u2019t have to be something drastic, in fact, we recommend starting small. If your goals are more realistic or specific then you are more likely to stick with them and accomplish them. Goals like creating an <a href=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/are-you-financially-prepared-for-the-unexpected\/\">emergency fund<\/a> are perfect for those who don\u2019t have one and are a way to start with something small and watch it grow. What about saving for retirement? Building a <a href=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/how-to-budget-for-the-first-time\/\">budget<\/a>? Paying down <a href=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/recovering-from-credit-card-shock\/\">credit card<\/a> debts? Improving\/monitoring your <a href=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/when-was-the-last-time-you-check-your-credit-score\/\">credit score<\/a>? Or Making better <a href=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/how-to-make-better-spending-decisions\/\">spending decisions<\/a>? These are all examples of a few financial changes that could make to help benefit your financial well-being in the future. We tend to make ambitious goals or lists of habits that we want to change when it comes to New Year\u2019s resolutions, such as losing weight, saving more money, or quitting a bad habit. But we need to remember that these goals all require considerable effort and will affect many aspects of your life which is why people tend to quit them. We tend to overwhelm ourselves by only thinking about the big or long term change and not what it takes to get there and the small accomplishments and little wins along the way. That\u2019s why starting with a small or specific goal and achieving it can have a great impact on how you move forward, especially when it comes to your finances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Know Your Financial\nPriorities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a balancing act. Many of us struggle with conflicting\nfinancial priorities, so how do you prepare to juggle the list of <a href=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/managing-a-successful-budget\/\">financial wants\nversus financial needs<\/a>? And how do you know what you can afford to do now\nwhile still taking care of your future self? We have talked about how everyone\nhas different <a href=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/knowing-your-financial-priorities\/\">financial\npriorities<\/a>. But when was the last time you asked yourself what you are\nwilling to do to put your financial future first? Are you prepared financially\nfor an emergency? Should you be making better spending decisions? Are you\nspending money you don\u2019t have? Do you have confidence in your finances? As\nmentioned above, after you have an idea of your financial goals and how to\nattain them, being able to keep your finances in check is what is going to keep\nyou on track. And there are quite a few ways to do this, and everyone <a href=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/managing-a-successful-budget\/\">has their own\npreferred method<\/a>. Some people go digital and use <a href=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/how-to-budget-for-the-first-time\/\">budgeting apps<\/a>,\nand some people choose to use spreadsheets. There are also people who use\ntracking methods like <a href=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/keeping-a-spending-journal\/\">spending journals<\/a>\nor use the <a href=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/education\">tools<\/a> their bank provides\nthem with. No matter how you like to keep track, it is about finding the tools\nto help you focus on your financial priorities. Making financial goals based on\nwhat your financial priorities are will get you on the right track to being\nfinancially successful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Focus On You<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to setting yourself up financially for the New Year, do you know what is best for you and your wallet? It\u2019s okay if you don\u2019t- we can all use a <a href=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/do-you-need-a-lesson-in-money\/\">lesson in money<\/a> sometimes and that is the point of setting financial goals. It can be tough sometimes on where to start. But, by reviewing your current financial situation is a good place. Start with the basics. This will be the first step you need to take in determining what kind of financial goals to you need to focus on or make for your New Year\u2019s resolutions. Do you want to stop ordering in dinner? What about taking public transit instead of taking Uber\u2019s? Do you have memberships that you aren\u2019t using and could be saving money? Have you tried making coffee at home instead of grabbing it once you are already out the door?
