    As consumers of the financial services and products, every\nfinancial year we pledge to keep new resolutions, always with a\nsmile, because of cause we resolve to better ourselves in one way or\nanother \u2013 knowledge-wise, health-wise, money-wise, etc.\nBut, do we really keep our resolutions? Obviously the answer is,\n\u201cnot always.\u201d Actually only a few people meet their resolutions,\nbecause resolutions are easy to set and extremely difficult to\nachieve.\n

    \nThe holiday season has only just passed and none of us has yet\nforgotten the joy and happiness we had with our beloved family and\nfriends during that festive and relaxing time.\nBut, now it is time for us to immigrate from that holiday spirit\nto face realities, including the monthly bills that need to be paid.\nAre we resilient and able to bounce back to financial shape and\nface our bills and financial obligations head on?\nBelow are a few tips on how to bounce back:\nAs a consumers, you need to be pro-active with your financial\nneeds.\nRe-evaluate your financial position.\nRe-asses your financial needs.\nEvaluate your budget to make sure you\u2019re on track with your\nnormal monthly spending\nEnsure that your insurance premiums are paid on time.\nHonor all contractual obligations and pay what is due to others.\nPay all installments on the agreed upon date.\n

    \nIf you saved money from your holiday time, boost your credit\nscore by asking for a \u201cgood faith adjustment\u201d in your amount due\nand pay more than what is owed.\nI wish you happy reading and urge you to stick to your 2017\nfinancial resolutions.\n
