Published December 31 2024
As the clock ticks down to New Year’s Eve, many individuals are articulating their financial aspirations for 2025. Isamar Salinas recently consulted with financial experts, underscoring the significance of consistency and discipline in accomplishing these financial resolutions.
Understanding Your Financial Landscape
Financial gurus stress the importance of acquainting oneself with their current financial status. This includes understanding account statements, assets, liabilities, and profits. Such knowledge forms the foundation of a realistic budget, a crucial tool in achieving financial wellness.
The 60-20-20 Rule
"No more than 60% of income should go towards expenses, with 20% allocated for personal use, travel, or events, and the remaining for savings," advised the Executive Director of South Texas Federal Credit Union. This strategy, often referred to as the 60-20-20 rule, can serve as a guideline for individuals looking to better manage their finances in the coming year.
The Power of Planning
Experts also recommend devising short, medium, and long-term financial plans. These plans serve as a roadmap, guiding individuals towards their financial goals and instilling a sense of direction. This structured approach is key to maintaining resolutions and starting the new year on the right financial footing.
