From Getting Out Of Debt To Sticking To A Budget, To-Dos For The New Year

The new year is a time to start fresh, to not only make resolutions but to keep them. As the end of the year nears, think about what you want to accomplish in 2011. In addition to the official tasks we’ve set out for you in the LV Winter To-Dos—like reassessing your budget, maxing out your retirement account, and rebalancing your portfolio—lay out the tasks that you’ll set for yourself.

Mastering your finances isn’t just about what we think you should do. What are some of the big-picture goals you’re trying to accomplish? Whether you are planning to stick to your budget better than ever, get out of debt, or finally sign up for your company’s 401(k) plan, we leave it up to you. Whatever your choice, we’re here to support you.

Our free, brand new Get Out Of Debt Bootcamp can help. This 15-day course will provide you with daily emails containing words of inspiration and quick tasks that you can do to get yourself organized and on the road to being debt-free. We’ll help you sort out which debts to pay off first, how savings enters into the picture, and the psychology of money behind how you got into debt in the first place.

In addition to providing tips and tools regularly in the LV Daily, we have also entirely revamped our Cut Your Costs Bootcamp—also entirely free to you. This course runs over just 15 days and can save you $3,500 or more. We are excited to announce that we've teamed up with Real Simple for this new and improved Cut Your Costs Bootcamp. Tune in to get tips and tricks from both LV and Real Simple to cut costs and living expenses in every room of your home. From negotiating your cable bill to reducing your grocery costs to lightening your medicine cabinet by saving on prescription meds, we’ll help you get the absolute most out of your budget.

We have yet another free bootcamp to help with that—the Personal Finance Basics Bootcamp. We’ll help you make sure you have the right sort of checking and savings accounts, help you create a great, realistic budget, and get you set up with managing your money. After the end of just 17 days, your finances will be whipped into shape.

Our Premium Investing Bootcamp ($14.99) is one of our most comprehensive and in-depth products, because it walks users through exactly what they need to know in order to truly be in control of their investments, retirement or otherwise. We go beyond defining key terms like stocks and bonds to bring you information that you need, like how to physically open an IRA and exactly how to allocate your investing money. In 15 days, you’ll be ready to invest for yourself, independently.

Tune in to our January LV Goes Live series. The new year is all about resolutions, and this year we’ll present a 4-part series of financial makeovers. Check out the schedule below to RSVP for any of the upcoming live calls between users and our in-house experts.
