Post image for It’s Morphin’ Time:  Transform Your Financial Life

You may recall a popular children’s television show several years ago that was called “The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers.”  The characters were unique in that they were average, ordinary people, but when they came together they would morph or transform into new form with special powers to fight off evil forces.

In the book The Life You’ve Always Wanted, the author discusses how morphin’, or transformation is often desired by people.

The desire for transformation lies deep in every human heart.  This why people enter therapy, join health clubs, get into recovery groups, read self help books, attend motivational seminars and make New Year’s resolutions.

Post image for Set Your Course For Next Year Now!  Setting Values Oriented Goals

Either way, the next next holiday focus (after all of the above) will be New Year’s, so when is it going to be the right time to think about the things you’re going to do next year to achieve personal finance goals, but also in other important areas of life?
