How to keep your financial resolutions in 2020 🎯

[Republic Weekly] Republic Insider January 09, 2020 🔥 Ending soon: [Digital Dream Labs]( You made several resolutions and already broke one. It’s cool. We did, too, particularly with the whole “not using emojis in subject lines” thing. Maybe you went to the gym, signed up for a membership, went once, and are really putting off the next trip. (Ok, we’re projecting here.) Perhaps you started Googling “How to spend less time on phone/Instagram/Twitter.” Maybe you even delayed Dry January to Dry March. No judgment here! Resolutions are cool, sure, but why should anyone punt major, life-altering things into another year? It’s no wonder 75% of all resolutions get broken! How to keep the one resolution that matters. So, you want to invest this year — or invest more. Awesome. Here are four things you need to actually keep this resolution in 2020: - Get an accountant or financial advisor: Behind every great investor is someone with intimate knowledge of their tax situation, telling them what they should and should not do. You have to pay them for their advice and expertise, but they know more than you about this stuff. - Secure your account: You need an account to invest. If you’re investing in startups, that means [signing up for a Republic account](. If you’re investing in stocks and bonds, that means getting a brokerage account. Just be sure you have a strong password and enable two-factor authentication to thwart off the hackers! - Do your research: A few searches and some light reading. That’s all it really takes to figure out what to invest in and why. If we’re talking startup investments, then [we made the process even easier for you](. - Actually invest: As you know, the earlier you invest, the better chance you have for higher, long-term gains. Sure, there’s always the risk of loss, but [investing now]( and not putting it off to next year — again — could mean having a higher balance in the long run. After that, treat yourself to a cold one and fall into a good Netflix binge. You deserve it!
