Personal finance experts agree that the way you approach, structure and keep tabs on your financial goals dictates how successful you are in maintaining them throughout the year.
In the age of social media, you may be fooled into thinking that the curated version of people’s lives that you see in your feed is reality.
But Vancouver-based money coach Parween Mander knows that digital highlight reels too often paint a picture of people’s finances that doesn’t quite line up with their reality.
“We don’t get to see their lows,” she says. “It’s hard not to compare your life to milestones that others hit. And that’s when shame starts to seep in.”
Mander is an accredited financial counsellor and a proponent of New Year’s resolutions that focus on mastering your money.
She and other personal finance experts agree that the way you approach, structure and keep tabs on your financial goals dictates how successful you are in maintaining them throughout the year.
Here are five tactics that could help you.
