Accountability and Goals

August 7, 2024 This week, I am unsure what to say. I have been a bit stressed. I went to visit my family down south to recharge – summer work, dissertation and debt elimination are a lot of work. This week, I have been thinking about ways to increase accountability. Inconsistency has definitely been a challenge with life being busy and so many things on my plate. It is how I got here. I realize this behavior and disconnect from goals, and stress can decrease focus and maintain self-preservation.I want to increase accountability and use tools to remain on track. Accountability in financial behavior is a powerful tool that can significantly enhance your financial success. I experience nervousness around sharing my financial situation. However, suppression is not beneficial. I recognize there are many benefits to accountability and actively discussing my financial goals.I will complete my final car payment and focus on significantly decreasing my credit card debt by this weekend. I am getting there, but I see the small ways that have inhibited my savings. I plan to make significant changes in the coming months.
