I thought that I'd treat today as a "non-working Sunday" and spend time with the newspaper and breakfast...a mistake, as all the columns looking back at 2007 and making predictions for 2008 were unanimously negative in tone and substance. I should have gone for a long walk, instead.
Despite all the naysayers, I'm excited to see what the New Year will bring.
Money Magazine did a poll recently, asking readers what their top financial goals were for 2008. Their resolutions were: Pay Down Debt...33%, Save for Retirement...23%, Build an Emergency Fund...11%, and Buy Real Estate...11%. Of these, one in three think they'll definitely achieve their top financial resolution, but 51% think that they may not have the money to make it happen.
What about you? What are your goals for the New Year, and how will you go about reaching them?
