Goals

The end of the financial year is upon us - a good opportunity to look at how your finances are shaping up so far in 2011.

It’s the season for making New Year resolutions and a great time to think about what you want out of the coming year.

Most of us have good intentions when it comes to spending money wisely. But this can be easier said than done.

It’s the day-to-day decisions that can make or break your ability to reach your goals, and motivational New Zealanders Michael Jones and Nigel Latta know it well.

Saving is a habit that pays off for Retirement Commissioner Diana Crossan and ANZ National chief executive Jenny Fagg.

If you’re a TV or radio star, you’re rolling in it and don’t need to worry about money – right? 

For our sporting champions, setting goals is a part of life as they constantly strive to improve their performance.

OK, we haven’t quite said goodbye to 2009, but as you can see from our home page we’re into the New Year spirit already.

Setting goals is a crucial first step in getting sorted.
