In the spirit of continued self-improvement and the impending new year, I wanted to share this list from Budgets Are Sexy which I think is an excellent way to start 2019. Original article is hyperlinked, but here is the list – definitely check him out as his site is full of great advice and resources on money.

1. Copy these all into your calendar and have them pop up daily for you!
2. Or for faster fun, PRINT OUT this puppy and cross off each item as the days pass! And we all know how satisfying crossing things off lists can be!! 🙂

Here they are!
