Keep It Simple! Your Finances Will Flourish.

As you work toward your goals this month, remember these three words: keep it simple. 

Whether it’s your goals, spending habits, or at-home decor, simple is generally better than complex or overloaded. If you streamline your habits and simplify your life, you enable yourself to focus and take meaningful strides in the right directions. 

Simplifying your life and your finances not only will help you feel more in control and in tune but will also help you stay on track with your goals.

You will help yourself become more personally and financially fulfilled if you: 

Simplify Your Budget.

As surprising as this may sound, a dedication to simplicity is in many ways a building block of financial stability. If you have a goal of achieving financial security and peace of mind, push yourself to streamline your budget. Overspending and splurge-spending are two common ways that people derail their own savings goals. Ask yourself: how much long-term happiness will I get from that high-priced purchase or fancy meal? Or do I need another new pair of shoes? Buying more stuff will not necessarily make you feel happy and fulfilled down the road. Assess your spending habits this month. Look for opportunities to cut back on unneeded spending in the name of your long-term savings. 

Simplify Your Goals.

While it can help to dream big, a good plan should start small. You will make more meaningful action toward your goals, both short- and long-term, if you break them into smaller, achievable steps. Larger goals like owning a home or becoming a success in your field can feel overwhelming and intangible. Committing to saving $1,000 more and improving your credit score over the next six months are two attainable goals that will help you make progress toward your preferred future. 

Simplify Your Mindset: Be True to You!

Be open to adopting a routine. Following a schedule can reduce stress during your day and give you the mental bandwidth you need to function at your best. Allow your routine to reflect what matters most to you. For example, if you value your long-term security, you could emphasize saving and spending strategically. Whether you want to retire on your terms or simply want to save up to protect yourself in the case of income interruption, your routine can help you get there.
