Most of us are familiar with New Year’s resolutions. The annual ritual can be either wonderfully enriching or frustratingly fleeting. Below is a list of financial resolutions sure to improve your bottom line:
- Review recent tax law changes, identify any expected savings that may be put to good use.
- Challenge yourself to increase your contribution to employer-sponsored retirement plans by at least the increase in the cost of living.
- Collect more of your employer match. It’s free money.
- Make IRA contributions as early in the year as possible.
- Grow Roth assets tax free.
- Check beneficiaries to ensure your legacy.
- Take prudent risks in your long-term investment accounts, look for growth.
- Review insurance coverages; property/casualty, life & health, long term care, disability.
- Organize your financial data and documentation on a digital platform or software app.
- Share important financial planning decisions with your spouse, conduct family meetings.
