Sexton Advisory Group: 5 Practical Financial Resolutions for 2022
Jan 6, 2022
SAN DIEGO - January 6, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
New year, new financial goals. In the spirit of improving financial fitness in 2022, Steve Sexton, financial consultant and CEO of Sexton Advisory Group in San Diego, California, shares his practical tips to empower individuals to stick to their financial resolutions this year.
- Cultivate a healthier relationship with money. "As we develop our financial resolutions for 2022, take pause to assess what type of relationship you have with money," says Sexton. "In many cases, having a healthy relationship with money starts with having a good relationship with yourself - this means investing in your health and mental well-being, and setting yourself up for financial safety and success in the long run."
- Revisit your budget, debts and investments at least once a quarter. To keep financial resolutions on track, Sexton recommends looking over your monthly expenses quarterly to ensure you're on track. "Checking in with your budget, debts, and investments quarterly will prevent major costs from slipping through the cracks," says Sexton. "While this can be a tedious exercise for many people, think of it as an act of self-care for your future self. Having a quarterly snapshot of your financial situation puts you in the best position to reach your financial goals."
- Improve your credit score. "A formidable credit score can take you far in life, especially when saving money on interest," says Sexton. "The most effective way to improve your credit score is to pay off your credit card balances in full every month. If this isn't possible, create a plan to pay down your debts and stick to it."
- Get your estate plan in order. After an unpredictable pandemic year, planning for unexpected events is more important than ever. "It is a hard truth to accept, but it's likely many of us will get sick or become temporarily disabled," says Sexton. "I encourage individuals to prepare for these inevitable scenarios financially and legally by consulting with a financial planner and/or an attorney to file the appropriate documents, including a will, trust, real estate deeds, and a beneficiary designation."
- Protect your money from inflation. The cost of goods in the U.S. has been increasing; in fact, The Consumer Price Index was up by 6.2% in 2021, the steepest increase in decades. "Despite the unpredictability of the past two years, there's one thing we can predict with certainty - inflation will impact your finances this year," says Sexton. "Protect your money from inflation by diversifying your portfolio and investing in entities that rise with inflation, like real estate and commodities."

Barrier 11 no concern for Ka Ying Rising but wet weather worries David Hayes ahead of The Everest
A wide draw in barrier 11 failed to dampen David Hayes’ enthusiasm with Ka Ying Rising, but the prospect of a wet track in Saturday’s Group One The Everest (1,200m) at Randwick is more of a concern for the champion trainer. Ka Ying Rising was dealt the second widest gate at Tuesday night’s barrier draw at Luna Park on the Sydney Harbour, but Hayes was looking at the positives as his superstar sprinter bids to become the first horse to win the prized race from barrier 11. “I know Zac [Purton]...

Fifa president Infantino could pull off ‘Houdini’ act as critics struggle for candidate
Gianni Infantino could survive weeks of criticism and secure re-election as Fifa president in the absence of a heavy hitter to challenge him, observers have said. The 56-year-old Swiss has lost the support of many associations in his bid to be re-elected to a fourth and final term since he launched and then hastily shelved his plan to allow private investment into the World Cup. Infantino, though, does crucially retain his core support in Africa and South America. His Fifa Forward Enterprise...

Is the early season Happy Valley bias a ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’ as the debate rages on
There has been plenty of intrigue surrounding the early outside bias at Happy Valley this season, but is it simply a “self-fulfilling prophecy”, or is there a rhyme and reason to the current state of play? The early statistics suggest it is not a coincidence. We’ve had four meetings at the city circuit this season, with all the configurations of the rail being utilised, from the A track to the C+3 course, where the rail is pushed the furthest it can be from the inside. At the first three...

Kimi Antonelli dares to dream of historic Formula 1 title after Singapore GP podium
Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli said he was allowing himself to dream about a historic world title, which is within reach at the next race in Austin, Texas, after the 20-year-old sealed his 14th podium finish of the season at Sunday’s Singapore Grand Prix.
