Are you ready to welcome 2022 and leave 2021 behind? We appreciate all our readers for joining us this past year, and we're excited to embark on this new journey together. So, how do you feel about your financial resolutions for the New Year? What improvements are you aiming for as we step into 2022?
A recent Annual Resolutions study by Fidelity Investments revealed that 62% of Americans feel optimistic about the upcoming year, with 68% contemplating a financial resolution. This raises the question: what are your goals, and how can we assist you in achieving them? We've crafted a special edition of our podcast to tackle your financial FAQs for 2022. Perhaps it's time to enhance your emergency fund, or maybe, like 47% of survey respondents, you're considering a career change. Alternatively, you might want to boost your retirement savings, just as 62% of people intend to do.
It's essential that our positive financial habits become lasting components of our lives instead of fleeting intentions that fade by spring. How can we adopt a more intentional approach to our finances this year, ensuring we hit our targets? Joining us to help answer these pressing questions is Meredith Stoddard, Vice President of Life Events Planning at Fidelity Investments. You might remember her from a previous episode where she discussed crucial life events that can impact finances.
Listen as we explore topics like saving in an HSA, building an emergency fund, job searching, negotiating a raise, saving for retirement, and preparing our children for financial success.
