Don’t wait for January and the ever fruitless Ney Year’s resolutions. How many years have you been doing that but failing to follow through? You still have some days in December, you still have NOW, so make use of it so that January is not the worst month of the year, where you’re counting the days to payday.
Happy Holidays!
