During my (very short) jog around my neighborhood a few days ago, I saw lots of neighbors also jogging, no doubt following a new year’s resolution to exercise more. Encountering others as we pass in opposite directions is a nice opportunity to greet my neighbors. But it’s a little disheartening to hear someone coming up from behind, who then zips by me without a word. I’m pretty sure everyone’s pace was faster than mine. But hey, my goal is to complete my brief jog without stopping!
Everyone has different goals and priorities. You can’t judge your personal financial situation by looking at what others make or spend. Your own success is specific to you: what is your timeline, your income, your savings, your investing, and your spending? Are you on track to hit your priorities and goals? Did you get a windfall that can help? Did you have to overcome a setback or delay in saving? And what is your risk tolerance?
Our Verisail team loves to partner with you to help you create a plan to achieve your goals. And we know your plan isn’t static: it can and will change over the years. Happy New Year, and know that we are here for you in 2025 and in the years to come!
