If the past year and the one before it taught us anything, it’s that life changes fast.

Even for retirees who are stable in life and in finance, nothing is certain. But as we head into a new year, it’s still tempting to make resolutions and stick to them. However, many resolutions last a little over a month — tops. Should you bother making one?

While it’s fine to aim for change in the new year, consider focusing on intention rather than a specific goal. This makes it much easier for you to stay motivated toward the goal and stick with it even if the year doesn’t go according to plan.
