How To Set Your Financial Goals For 2026
For many, it’s the season for reflection, refreshing our perspective on life, and setting new goals for the year ahead. If your go-to motto in December was ‘that can wait until the New Year’ – that time has come, and now it’s time to get stuck in.
Katie shares that as a coach she’s not in the “inspiration business,” so much as the “transformation business.” She says it’s vital that these well-meaning aspirations for the New Year move beyond words and become concrete actions that will propel your finances forwards.
Breaking up your larger long-term goals into smaller, achievable actions helps you measure progress to keep you motivated and moving in the right direction.

Katie’s tips for being intentional when heading into the sales? Don’t use a credit card, have a list of things you need, understand how much money you have to spend, and identify whether the deal you’re getting is a proper ‘deal’.
