Cheer Yourself on to Financial Victory

Remember when you were growing up and you received a star for a job well done in school or at home? Remember how good you felt after receiving it? Well, not much changes from childhood to adulthood, which is why it’s important to celebrate the victories of reaching your goals—especially the financial ones.

Keep Your Motivation Going Strong

For starters, write down a list of financial goals. It can be anything and everything—from paying off your student loans to saving for a down payment on a new home. Once you do so, set a calendar and start working toward goal No.1. When you reach that goal, treat yourself to a nice dinner at a restaurant you only save for special occasions.

Then, once one celebration ends, it’s time to move on to the next goal. Maybe you gave up coffee for a month in order to pay off a credit card bill. Once you make that last payment, go enjoy your debt-free cup of Joe.

Just keep going and celebrating until your list is done. After that, you just might be able to celebrate with a vacation of your dreams—and it won’t include debt since you will have the cash saved!
