Most financial advice sounds good… but doesn’t stick.

In this episode of Dollars & Sense, we break down five practical financial habits that actually matter in 2026 — not trendy hacks or unrealistic rules, but simple actions that help reduce stress, improve clarity, and build consistency over time.

We talk about:

• Why checking in on your money once a month matters more than perfection
• How automation can quietly do the heavy lifting for you
• The role interest and credit play in long-term financial health
• Why small habits are often more powerful than big financial goals

Whether you’re starting fresh in 2026 or just looking to feel more in control of your finances, these habits are designed to meet you where you’re at — and help you move forward with intention.

👉 You don’t need to do everything at once. Start with one habit, build momentum, and adjust as you go.
