Funny Money Friday: New Year& 39;s Resolutions To Avoid
Money doesn&39;t have to be boring! Each week, CreditBloggers.com takes a look at the lighter side of the personal finance world in a series called Funny Money Friday.
Hello to those few of you at work today before the holiday weekend! Can you believe that we are only a few days away from 2007? That means it is time to start thinking about New Year&39;s Resolutions!
Getting out of debt, increasing your savings, improving your credit scores...there are plenty of good ideas for resolutions available (and we&39;ll be talking about them in detail next week). But this is Funny Money Friday, so we&39;re going to instead show you some resolution ideas that you should certainly avoid for the New Year.
Really Terrible Financial Resolutions for 2007:
- Replace your current online passwords with something easier to remember...like "password."
- Close all your credit cards accounts in an effort to "clean up" your credit report.
- Debt, glorious debt.
- Move your savings from a high yield savings account to a standard bank savings account; it makes sense to earn an annual percentage yield that is lower than the rate of inflation.
- Why not file for bankruptcy...it sounds fun.
- Cash out your 401(k) savings to get that water ski boat you&39;ve always wanted.
- A free laptop just for opening up a credit card account! That sounds too good to be true. Where do I sign up!
- Reserve your paper shredder exclusively for the purpose of making festive confetti.
- So, you&39;re saying that there is money in Nigeria that the minister of accounting needs some help with?
- Beanie Babies are a solid foundation for a long-term investment strategy.
