MY 2023 FINANCIAL GOALS & how I'm going to achieve them

[@carolyndalton7775]

I am older and of my goals is to preplan ad pay for our funerals. It will be a great burden off of the person who has to plan them, be it a spouse or our daughter. I think this is a necessary, even though most people don’t want to think about it. We purchased our burial plots 2 years ago. This year I would like to purchase our Monuments. We do have some life insurance that would pay most of the burial expenses expenses.

[@julia.md2b707]

Naturally I’ll so frugal that I deny myself living to the fullest. This year I decided to start spending money on experiences and it has truly made me so much happier. I started actually using my vacations sinking funds, my partner and I each opened a travel credit card. I learned that spending money on your relationships is so much more valuable than having sinking funds that I’m afraid to use.

[@CarterSullivan]

THIS THIS THIS! Spending money on your relationship & experiences is the most valuable thing ever ♥️✨

[@potato1084]

Sameee!! It’s such a weird problem that most people can’t relate to. I’ve definitely stopped caring as much though. I feel like saving 50-60% of my salary is more than enough and I don’t need to go further or sacrifice things to save 😭😭

[@care2998]

I loved this!! I’m still in the process of healing my relationship with money. Some of my goals for 2023 are; - Spend less on wants - Start saving for an apartment - Set up an emergency fund

[@MsSamhoffman]

I've chosen my theme for 2023, and it's an improvement. I want to improve my finances, improve my health, improve how I spend my time, and overall improve myself because it's something I have been lacking for multiple years. My main two money goals of mine are to save 20% of my monthly income and pay off my highest-interest loan from university (a loan with a 14% interest rate 😨).

[@linal3489]

The word I chose for 2023 is "Restoration." This year i experienced many losses due to my poor choices. I spent thousands and thousands of money playing slot machines! I believe God can restore what I've lost this year.

[@kendanhill]

14% dang! I hope you achieve those goals!

[@MsSamhoffman]

@@kendanhill I know! I was like "whoa" especially since my other university loans have been about 4%

Ive watched a lot of videos like this, and I rarely ever comment on them, but this video really inspired me! As someone who up till my 30’s hasn’t been very money conscious, and who’s friend don’t really help me be more mindful, videos like this are so helpful! Just listening to someone who is smart about money is like having a good friend encouraging me to achieve my financial goals.

[@CarterSullivan]

You got this!!

[@sierra8330]

You are darling and I love hearing how you’re doing all this. I wish I had your channel when I was in my 20s! Man, the things I am still learning and I’m 41 and have 2 kids. I would do so much differently. Never too late though. Thanks for the inspiration!!! My biggest financial goal this coming year is to be a more mindful spender and stop impulse buying, and to track my spending consistently. We used YNAB a lot over the years and it’s time to start saving for a house.

[@tuckermay2597]

I'm an independent contractor and I pay myself every 2 weeks like I would with a "normal" job and it's been much better for me! A lot easier to budget with the same amount coming into my personal accounts every month. I pay my taxes out of my business accounts so whatever gets deposited into my personal accounts is 100% mine for expenses/savings

[@JoyAshWood]

This was so helpful in me deciding my own goals! My main goals for this year are to purchase my first car, set up an emergency fund, and save more consistently

[@MiriLikesYoutubing]

Hey Carter, I just completed my 2022/ life goal of buying my own place!! I have financial goals that I look at every 3 months with a reminder on my phone. I write down ‘actions taken’ in that last 3 month period and then ‘goals’ for the next 3 months which works pretty well for me

Wow that's amazing, congratulations!!

[@MiriLikesYoutubing]

@@CarterSullivan thanks!

[@kira5612]

This video came at such a perfect time for me 😊! I’m actually in the middle of making coffee and doing a yearly reset. My main goal for 2023 is to pay off the last of my medical bills and set up my emergency fund again. Another goal which I think is my most importantly just overall is to be kinder to myself. This year I had a lot of extreme goals and was struggling post pandemic. I was able to get a full time job at my local library, but I never took any time to be proud of myself or take care of mysel ( sleeping, eating enough etc) so toward the end of this year I started prioritizing my mental health and investing in weekly therapy and managing my ocd diagnosis etc. lol all that to say a big 2023 goal for my is to be fair to myself with the goals I set and also work on not being ashamed for being in a lower income etc. thanks for sharing such great advice it was definitely something I needed to help me organize myself this morning ❤

My husband and I had a small wedding in June 2021. We got married in front of the rocky mountains with our parents, sibs, and our best friends. 13 people total. We only spent $7k on the wedding and a 2 week honeymoon. I say only because most people spend more. My parents wanted to contribute and paid for our flowers. Very unexpected and grateful. We cut our cake and had drinks back at our cabin that night. No reception. The next day we rented a boat and spent the day with all our guests on the lake. We would not change a thing.

Your videos are so inspirational and really push me to be more mindful about my own financial decisions! I haven't officialy sat down and mapped out my financial goals for 2023, but the main one I'm toying with at the moment is to implement a question before every on-necesity purchase. For example, I work at a clothing store and find that I impulse buy pretty frequently and it's really effecting my ability to achieve other financial goals. I want to start asking myself "would future me thank current me for this purchase" and really take a moment to evaluate if it is a wise purchase or not.

I made a very conprehensibe budget sheet that I love!! But I find myself just using to input my spending and looking at what I spent after that fact, where my goal (started in December) to plan ahead of time yet balancing that with mindful spending. It was also difficult to see myself spend more money then I did in the the past few years with COVID, and I actually got to travel a lot so it was great just working on a balance

[@Nephele87]

Hi Carter, I bought your finance spreadsheet and I love it! I have one question: when you pay cash buying something in January, you put these expenses in January - simple. But how does it work when I buy something in January using my credit card? Should I still put it in January or in the month where actual payment is due? I can't decide which way makes more sense. Thanks in advance :)

[@CarterSullivan]

I just want to clarify it's not MY spreadsheet, it's just one that I bought and love! It's really up to you, anything I buy in January on my CC I still track as a January expense and that would count as tracking your CC payment because it's already accounted for in your expenses!

I just discovered your channel over the summer so I didn't know you had gotten into your financial journey due to 10K of consumerism debt. The same thing happened with me and my husband and we just paid off our last $2,400 today! We made some big decisions this year that allowed us to pay it off within 6 months. Your guidance and monthly planning routines really helped me stay focused and on track. I also downloaded the budget template you use and that has been a game changer! For 2022 our next goal is to bulk up our emergency fund! I want $12K in a high yield savings account and then I think we're going to put the rest in a brokerage account to help fight inflation.

Hey be careful with timeshares Maybe you can do a video on the risks of timeshares and why you are still going ahead with one anyway?

[@CarterSullivan]

We're still doing our research and figuring it all out but it's important to note that Disney isn't a traditional timeshare like you think. There’s a misconception that timeshares are impossible to leave behind if they are no longer a good fit. That may be true for some but it’s not the case at all with Disney Vacation Club. The Disney timeshare remains popular and continues to add new resorts and you can use it worldwide and sell if it is no longer for you.

[@operativealyssa]

I'm interested to watch a reset video that focuses more on your business side, separate with your personal one. That's an interesting video idea, Carter. I hope you push through doing that next year. :)

I would love to try and do that but my only issue with that is there's just so much sensitive information I can't share like brand information, payment details etc. I use a very simple bookkeeping template alongside Quickbooks for my business and I've tried to show you guys before but it ends up being my whole screen blurred out which isn't helpful to anyone 🥲 But I will try!

[@karleeharwell4036]

I have previously been great with setting financial goals and meeting them however my 2022 finances changed significantly. I saved for several years and my goals started with smaller items that consisted of a few hundred dollars, then i wanted a truck and trailer for my horses and achieved both those in 2020 (also splurged and bought newer cash only so that they would last), next financial goal was wedding and honeymoon which we achieved in 2021, next was wanting to buy a horse property within about 3 years well that fast tracked because we found the perfect place in 2022 and was above our budget. We have many updates and things to accomplish with property for goals however don't have much left over and to top it off, found out we were pregnant right after buying the new place, yay good changes but def affecting finances! We don't have many short-term goals other than making sure we are making progress on payments. We bought a bunch of equipment on contract for deed on 5 yr payoff but ideally we can payoff off sooner. Pay off student loans by 2024 but am in a program that as long as i stay in my current job until end of July 2024, I am in a scholarship program and that will get paid off by then. Husband will need a new vehicle in the mext 3 years as well. Definitely lots of goals but big expenses so will take some time! And new home will need a new roof in 3-5 yrs too.

[@oliviaherzog6755]

My 2023 financial goals are to 1) Keep throwing money towards my student debt (aiming to be debt free by 2024 but if not, I will be carrying very little debt into 2024) and 2) Keep budgeting (I have really started to like budgeting and it has become so addicting and motivating!)

I think taking a specific amount as a business paycheck is a great idea. I follow a KZbinr (Steph & Den) who does that full time and she takes a very strict budget from the business.

I’d highly recommend a business high interest savings if you don’t have one so it isn’t sitting in checking.

Spent past 15 months working all the hours under the sun to pay off all my debts. The plan for 2023 is to build an emergency fund and heavily invest in bitcoin, ethereum and Tesla. From 2024 onwards It’ll just be the S&P500 and property.

Hi Carter, I loved this video! It truly helped guide me to set my financial goals for 2023. One of my biggest dreams for 2023 is to do at least 1 paid brand partnership on my social media. I've been slowly growing over the past couple years, I just had some major growth over on TikTok, and I have done a few ambassador-based partnerships that have made me a couple bucks. What I'd really like to do though is do one partnership where they pay me a set amount, and I would love if eventually I could make about an extra $50-100 a month from this! Sending big love

My main goals are to pay off about $3000 in credit card debt and pay off one vehicle which is about $3000 as well. Fingers crossed that’ll be done by March

[@CarterSullivan]

Crossing my fingers for you, you can do it!!

[@KenyaRomero]

pay off my 3k consumer credit card debt, pay off my car loan, and build my emergency fund ❤

My biggest goal to be honest is to find a job again, i'm in my 20's yet no one seems to want to hire me for some reason even though i am a fast learner.

[@CarterSullivan]

Sending you all the good vibes to get a great job!!!

[@Mr.M.UZ3D]

@@CarterSullivan Thank you so much! :)

I'm barely starting to try to plan my life so I only have 2 financial goals that will encompass the year. I want to make $45k for the year, I'm almost at $40k this year. I also want to open my business and get that started already. I want to plan smaller goals each quarter as well but I'm not sure yet.

[@CarterSullivan]

Yes I'm all for smaller goals to kickstart that fire of motivation!!

[@MathildeG]

One of my big financial goals is to pay off a lot of my 30K student debt 😅. Hoping Papa Biden forgives me 10K (but the Republicans keep on blocking him).

[@CarterSullivan]

Fingers crossed Joe SHOWS UP AND FORGIVES IT FOR YA

Increasing our income streams from 3 streams to 6 streams of income. This year is a building year for us.

My financial goal is to spend less money, invest the money in passive income, and save money for a rainy day. I also would like to plan for retirement.

[@CarterSullivan]

Love that for you!

[@heyyitssj]

Yes yes yes! Save for a wedding if you guys are seriously discussing marriage - they’re so expensive 😅

[@CarterSullivan]

We defintely don't plan on having a traditional wedding so we'll save alot of money that way but I think it's something important to start saving for even if we elope!
