Though this Roundup series is pretty new, this is going to be the last one for 2013. It’s always good to reflect on the past year and make sure next year is even better:
–2013: Looking Back by The Broke and Beautiful Life: In this post, Stefanie shows us how New Year’s resolutions are done. They should be written down and tracked as the year goes on. While you may not meet all of your resolutions, achieving most of them is a lot better than achieving none. Great job Stefanie and hope you have a great 2014.
–Should you Contribute to a 401k or IRA when in debt? Apply the 5% Cutoff Rule by 20SomethingFinance: Saving for retirement while in debt has been an age old question. And the answer differs depending on your situation. I firmly believe that saving for retirement early on in life, even if it just a little bit, is a great move. As your debt is being paid off, you can then increase your retirement contribution. The key is to not give in to lifestyle inflation which would lead to a decrease in your debt repayment and/or retirement contribution.
–2014 New Year’s Resolutions by FrugalPortland: In keeping with the theme of excellent New Year’s resolution posts, here is a great one. It’s great that these awesome bloggers are willing to put their resolutions out there for everyone to see. I can’t think of a better way to make yourself accountable while motivating your readers.
Happy Holidays everyone!
