It's the season for making New Year's Resolutions. In that spirit, JLP at All Things Financial has a round-up of New Year's suggestions from the Personal Finance Blogger community. There are posts from many of the "usual suspects (and a few new ones). Good suggestions one and all. They include:
- Set up an emergency fund
- Get out of debt - pay off those credit cards
- Manage your 401-k
- Set up an IRA
- Set up a budget
- Prepare personal financial statements
Good sound advice all. I'd also include
- Review your life and disability insurance coverage
- Determine goals for accumulating money for education, retirement, etc...
