Welcome 2010!  I am so grateful that you have arrived and that you are bringing us "HOPE" for a fabulous new year full of abundance.
 
As Emily Dickenson's said:
 
                 "Hope is the thing with feathers
                  That perches in the soul,
                  And sings the tune without the words,
                  And never stops at all."
 
I hear that tune that is perched in my soul.  Listen, she is calling you.

Blessings of Abundance, 
 Debbie

#1 -  Create a Christmas Savings Account - Now!    It is simple to have enough cash to pay for Christmas gifts in December 2010 without all the guilt and stress. Start today by opening a new savings account. Decide how much money you'll need to buy gifts and divide that amount by the number of paychecks that you'll have until the beginning of December.  Set up an automatic transfer in your online banking account for the date of each paycheck so you can move the money to the new savings account.  For example, if you need to have $430 in the beginning of December to buy Christmas gifts and there are forty-three paydays until December, then automatically transfer $10 per paycheck to this saving account.  This solution works for anything - a vacation fund, a furniture fund, or a clothing fund.  With free checking/savings accounts - you can create as many savings funds as you need.  This also works with the simple envelope system too! 
 
#2 - Ask yourself - Why do I overspend?  As a financial coach, I can give great advice on how to manage your money but I know that there are some habits that you must personally address. To get to the root of the cause; you should have a discussion with yourself as to why you overspend.  Try writing a letter or journaling to find the answer. Here are some reasons that you may discover: I deserve this - I work hard. Ignorance is bliss about how much money I really have. I can afford this. I only have to pay $10 per month with my credit card. I hate my life and shopping makes me feel better. It is his/her fault that we are in this mess so I deserve this new item.
 
Abundance can come only when you take control of your bad habits and bring about change and hope for a new life.  The first step towards change is to get out of the dark and see what needs to be changed.  Rewrite your life to be what you want it to be.
