MAKE THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTIONS THIS JANUARY AND REAP THE REWARDS: "I WILL GET MY DEBT UNDER CONTROL" The secret behind managing debt? SPEND LESS THAN YOU MAKE. This oft-quoted paradigm is the simplest way to make sure you have the money to pay down your debt – or never get into debt in the first place. "I WILL SAVE FOR RETIREMENT" Spending less than you make also allows you to save for retirement. CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR WORKPLACE 401K (and find out if you employer will match your contributions) OR OPEN YOUR OWN IRA. There's no time like now to save for the future. "I WILL WALK MORE AND EAT LESS" You don't need a radical workout plan or dietary overhaul to lose weight. Just get out and WALK FOR HALF AN HOUR, 5 DAYS/WEEK. While you're at it, TAKE ADDED SUGARS AND PROCESSED CARBS OUT OF YOUR DIET. That orange juice and cereal you eat every morning? Cut it out and watch the pounds melt avway. Americans have developed some bad habits over the years, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THE AVERAGE AMERICAN. Take a few steps to improve your life this New Year - YOU'LL BE FAR ABOVE AVERAGE IN NO TIME.
