Celebrate Your Progress: Reflect on the Wins This Year
|
Dear Reader , As the year draws to a close, it’s the perfect time to take a step back and reflect. High interest rates, rising costs of living, and other financial stresses might have kept you up at night. But let me remind you: you’ve made progress. When I was out on my morning walk recently, feeling stressed about money, I took a deep breath and thought about how far we’ve come over the past few years. It struck me that it’s easy to get so caught up in the struggles that we forget to celebrate the victories—big and small. Small wins matter. Each one brings you closer to your ultimate financial goals. Talking about money with your partner, sticking to a grocery budget, or resisting impulse buys are all achievements worth celebrating. These seemingly small steps build a positive relationship with money and keep you motivated. This blog post dives into the importance of celebrating small wins and how they can transform your money mindset. If budgeting feels overwhelming, don’t worry. I’ve shared simple tips and tools in this post that can help you take charge of your money without the stress. Whether you’re creating a budget for the first time or saving for something BIG, you’re making progress every step of the way. 💡 Discover how to start celebrating your progress today! Remember, progress—even if it feels slow—is still progress. Take a moment to reflect, acknowledge your wins, and celebrate them. You’ve got this! Warm wishes,

Hi Reader , This past week, our daughter won a school swimming race. No big deal, you might think—it’s not the Olympics. But for her, it was a huge moment. Gold! Just four weeks ago, she was on the hockey team. She loved hockey and had been playing for three years, showing up rain or shine—whether it was a 6am practise or a 7pm match.
