Setting goals for January isn’t something I only reserve for the new year, every month I like to sit down with Chris and plan the month ahead. I’ve always found that setting ourselves small achievable goals each month helps to keep us focussed and on track. Of course, we have long-term goals that we work towards each year too along with seasonal bucket lists that we like to put together as a family.

I’m a planner, I thrive on organisation and although it’s not everyone’s cup of tea it’s certainly something I enjoy doing. January is the perfect month to set some new goals and it’s definitely a month that I feel really motivated in. Look out for a post in the next few days about my long-term plans for 2019, we have lots of financial goals we want to smash this year.
