This week’s theme on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast is: Financial Resolutions For 2023

Today, I’m talking about a new trend for goals and resolutions that I’ve seen more of in recent years: The anti-resolution. In fact, I came across this just a few weeks ago in the WSJ: https://www.wsj.com/articles/throw-out-your-new-years-resolutions-try-these-antiresolutions-instead-11672705706 

Alex Janin, the author of the article states: “Millions of people spend the final days of December coming up with ambitious tasks for the new year. In 2023, resolve to take something off your plate instead.”

An interesting a worthwhile consideration for 2023, is to remove something from your life, your goals, or your to-do list that is not worthwhile or perhaps even stressing you out. Some specific recommendations from the article include: stop weighing yourself, and stop spending money on fitness (whether that’s a gym membership or an app, or a fitness watch you never use). 

So it’s an important concept and something to consider, especially if you’re like me and you tend to take on too much, load up your goals and to do list, only to fail because you just couldn’t get it all done. The nice thing about the anti-resolution or the stop doing this goal, is that it frees you up more to focus on what really matters, since when you say no to one thing, it allows you to say yes to something else that is more important. 

That’s it for today. Thanks for listening! My name is Ashley Micciche and this is the Retirement Quick Tips podcast.
