New year, new money moves. But let’s be real—traditional financial resolutions can be a little… basic. We’re not here for just another “stick to a budget” or “cut back on coffee” list. In 2025, we’re coming for generational wealth, financial confidence, and unapologetic financial freedom.
If your financial resolutions don’t include a little bit of rebellion and a lot of strategy, sis, it’s time to upgrade them. Here’s how to switch up the game and make money moves that actually stick.
1. Get Bold About Your Earning Power
Enough of the “just grateful for the opportunity” mindset—2025 is about knowing your worth and adding tax. Ask for that raise, increase your service rates, or negotiate that contract.
Action Step
Research salary benchmarks for your role, check what competitors are charging, and set a deadline to have the money talk—with your boss, your clients, or even yourself.
2. Turn “Saving” into “Investing”
Traditional advice says, “Save more money.” But saving alone won’t build wealth; investing will. Whether it’s stocks, real estate, or a business, make moves that put your money to work.
Action Step
Set up an automatic monthly transfer to a high-yield savings account and commit to learning about one new investment vehicle this year.
3. Break Up with Broke Mindsets
You can’t attract abundance if you’re still holding onto money trauma from the past. Unlearn what no longer serves you: “I have to work twice as hard,” “Debt is normal,” or “Money is evil.” Nope. Delete. Reprogram.
Action Step
Start a financial affirmations practice—something simple like “I attract wealth effortlessly” every morning. Mindset matters.
4. Build a Financial Squad
If your group chat only talks about TV shows and drama, it’s time to start a money chat. Your circle should include at least one friend who’s into investing, one who’s killing the side hustle game, and one who’s great at budgeting. Iron sharpens iron.
Action Step
Start a group text or monthly check-in with financially focused friends. Accountability = Results.
5. Make Wealth a Family Tradition
If you’re the first in your family to break financial cycles, make sure you’re not the last. Open investment accounts for your kids, introduce financial literacy at the dinner table, and leave a legacy, not just a life story.
Action Step
Look into estate planning (yes, even if you don’t have millions). A will and life insurance are non-negotiable.
Bottom Line? 2025 is the Year You Stop Playing Small.
No more being polite about your money. No more sitting on the sidelines while others build wealth. This is your year to elevate, secure, and multiply the bag. Now, let’s make it happen.
