Can you believe we are at the beginning of a new year and decade? Time simply goes too fast. But it’s safe to say that we are into 2020, so it’s understandable that you might be thinking about the new year ahead and setting yourself goals for life changes. Sound familiar? With that in mind, here are some of the most common goals that are taking priority on the agenda for many people. Maybe it will inspire you to add one of them to your list of goals.
Moving up the career ladder
A career is important for many people, so it is no surprise that moving up the career ladder, or even changing career could be a high priority for the next twelve months. Perhaps you are wanting to improve your financial position, or just create better work and home life balance. Whatever your motivation a quick tip is to plan for the career move you want to make. That might mean taking additional courses to increase your qualifications or even showing more initiative in your workplace by taking on extra workload or staying later. Having a plan of action helps you to be accountable for your goals, and ultimately helps you achieve them in the long run.
Buying a house or improving your current property
Perhaps getting on the property ladder is more your thing for 2020, and you have set yourself a goal of doing that. Owning a home is one of the biggest purchases you could make in your lifetime, but also one of the most solid investments you can make. Many people go about buying a property by saving for their initial deposit and correcting their credit score, so it makes it easier to obtain a mortgage. It might be that you have a house already, and you want to make some improvements to it to stay or to make a profit. This is when you may want to plan on how to finance home improvement so that you can ensure that you make the most out of the time and effort it takes to do it.
Getting married
Maybe 2020 signifies wedding bells for you. Perhaps you have already set a date, or you are making it your mission to be in the wedding planning process in 2020. However, you could be struggling with getting your partner being on the same page as you, so it might require a bit of groundwork of conversation or even taking matters into your own hands and proposing yourself. One of the huge advantages of discussing getting married or even popping the question is you could choose your own ring.
Traveling more
Is 2020 the year you decide to tick off some of the destinations on your bucket list? Or even just travel a little more than you would normally? Then set yourself a goal to travel more or at least booking in some time off in advance will help you achieve this goal. Researching potential destinations and the best time to visit is a good starting point.
I hope this has inspired you to make some goals for 2020 yourself.
