New Year's resolutions you can actually keep (even saving money)

Advertorial

Are you one of those people who come up with New Year’s resolutions each year, only to find yourself nowhere near on track two or three months later? You are not alone! Less than 25% of people stay committed to their goals after 30 days, while only 8% accomplish them.

For parents, there are two main goals that rank highly: Health and saving money. Lucky for you, we have two great ways to help you keep to your goals with minimal effort!

1. Make sure access to good health is easy and affordable

The top New Year’s resolution consistently relates to health: quitting smoking, exercising more, healthier eating. These are all essential elements to staying healthy and living a comfortable life; however, there’s another way to look after your health ? to invest in good quality, affordable health insurance. Some people are lucky enough to be covered by their employers and trends in 2021 show that more small businesses will look into covering their employees for everything from basic health to mental health coverage. However, not everyone is lucky enough to get insurance through their work so will have to look elsewhere.

There are many health insurance providers in New Zealand, so who do you choose?

Eirene from Wellington chose Manchester Unity and is happy to say:

“I appreciate the repayments from when I send in our medical accounts, treat them like income… We have been with you for 53 years now, from the year we were first married. A good investment, thank you!” Eirene, Wellington

Jennifer is another happy member of Manchester Unity and says:

“” Medical insurance has helped me personally for such a small cost. I can pay a little extra if I want to add optical, dentistry or surgical extras” I am very grateful to MU.” Jennifer, Napier

2. Save money in ways that don’t deprive your family

The second most popular New Year’s resolution revolves around money ? saving money and sorting out your finances to be more specific.

It’s difficult to restrict your spending on items you need (even on items you want!). You can’t avoid spending on health products for your kids when they get colds, or your prescriptions when you get sick.

Saving money does mean you have to quit doing things your family enjoys, like trips to the zoo, or even your own individual hobbies as well. There’s always a compromise, like researching for promotional offers for day trips, or maybe adjusting your hobbies to reduce their costs. For example, if you are a keen mobile gambler, you can learn tips on how to lose less money when playing and put this extra money to good use.

Save money with compromises is the best of both worlds. Therefore, your best bet is to have a discount app that gives you the freedom to spend less on what you are already buying. Furthermore, reading things like this article may be helpful in giving useful tips on how to save money effectively.
