Resolve for 2021 to Have a Better Year!  

While so many things seem as though they raced into fourth gear in 2020, there were other instances where things seemed to slow down. Work became a virtual Ferris wheel, never-ending and jumping from one virtual program to another event! 

Hopefully, you have carved out more time for your self-fulfillment. With more time on our hands, here are tips to jump-starting your 2021:

Join a Book Club
Book clubs are still popular today. Technology has allowed virtual book clubs to be more important than ever, allowing people to stay connected. One of the things we can do to enhance our lives- reading! 

  •  Ask around – even if your friends aren’t in book clubs, or aren’t readers themselves, they may know groups open to new members. 
  •  Check with your local library and bookstores. 
  •  See if your local community center has a book club connected with it. Many YMCAs offer a monthly book club open to members.  
  • Independent and assisted living communities have found book clubs offer enrichment options to residents. There are also virtual book clubs and others like  Read with Jenna and Oprah’s Book Club. 

Learn a New Skill
Reviving sewing machines that have been sitting quiet for years, many have discovered a new talent — not just sewing garments and other things, but also sewing masks for local assisted living and nursing centers as well as for the local community.

Create a Monthly Budget/Join an Investment Club
Spend less, save more. Money is one of the single biggest stressors for people (especially Millennials), and it’s one of the biggest points of conflict in marriages and relationships. Creating a monthly budget allows us to get our money under control.

Consider joining an investment club that matches your investing style. The National Association of Investors Corporation (NAIC), also known as  BetterInvesting, offers support and information for people wishing to join or start their own investment club in the United States. 

The NAIC not only provides excellent tools but also publishes a monthly investor-learning magazine. Whatever you decide while planning in 2021, give yourself a bit of a break. Don’t try to plan everything for the whole year.
