Make the Commitment
A
new year is often a time to commit to making changes in life for
the better. It can be a time to get inspired, commit and make a
new start. Many of us lapsed into bad habits after September 11th,
but now is the time to fix things. Here is a list of suggestions
with links to more information and help to pages on StudentNow and
resource off site. These resolutions can be made year round, so
this guide will remain up year round. If you lapse from your resolutions,
revisit this page.
1. QUIT SMOKING

a nasty habit, but is will shorten your life, bring you diseases,

3. GET OUT OF DEBT
& CLEAN YOUR CREDIT
Debt can drag you down
and quickly eat-up your spending power. Bad debt like credit card
debt can take months or years to clear and the longer you wait the
harder it gets. Also, would you have bought that item if you know
that your interest payments would double or triple the price? Start
paying down your debt now and if you have credit problems start
clearing them now. A good credit rating is very important. Businesses
inspect your credit history when they evaluate your applications
for credit, insurance, employment, and even leases.
