Happy New Year, everyone. This is Laura, and I'm so excited for another year of Money Girl,

and I'm really glad to have you with me. If you haven't already created money goals,

resolutions, intentions, whatever you want to call them for the year, this show will help.

I talk about why you need to set financial goals. I give you a specific method to create them for more success

and clever ways to achieve them as fast as possible that feel fun and motivating. Remember, money

goals don't need to be heavy or take a lot of time. It's simply about getting a step or too

closer to the life you daydream about, where you feel happy, secure, and on top of the world.

Please enjoy it, and I'll be back next time with the new show.

Achieving your financial goals is all about getting one step closer to the life you daydream about,

where you feel happy,

secure, and on top of the world. In this podcast, we're going to talk about why you need to set financial goals. I'll give you a specific method to create them, giving you the greatest

chances of success, and clever ways to achieve your goals as fast as possible and have goals that feel fun

and motivating, not restrictive or boring. Hey everyone, and thanks for joining me this week.

I'm Laura Adams, personal finance and small business expert and author who's been right here

hosting the Money Girl podcast every week since 2008.

My mission for the show is to help you get the knowledge and motivation to prioritize your finances, build wealth, and have more security and less stress.

Each podcast is kind of like a mini tutorial, like a class, where we cover money hacks,

new ways to earn more, how to save more, or we might hear

from an industry expert on a specific financial or small business topic.

You're going to come away with practical advice for taking your financial wellness to the next

level and know how to make better money decisions.

So I would love for you to subscribe to the show if you
