Why Money Keeps Becoming Your New Year’s Resolution
What your January money goals are really trying to tell you—and why willpower isn’t the problem
Every January, money becomes part of the New Year’s resolution conversation. Paying off debt, saving more, getting better with money. And while those goals are common, they’re usually not the real issue.
In this episode of Everyone’s Talkin’ Money, Shari explains why money keeps showing up on your New Year’s resolution list year after year, and what that pattern is actually telling you about your financial life. This isn’t about discipline, motivation, or willpower. It’s about whether your money systems are designed for the life you’re actually living.
If you feel like you’re constantly resetting your finances, starting over every January, or promising yourself that this year will be different, this episode will help you understand what’s really underneath that stress. Shari breaks down the root reasons money feels stuck, why resolutions often create relief without real change, and how outdated money systems can create frustration even when your income has grown.
