Give yourself a break if you're failing at your 2020 money goals. (via CNBCMakeIt)
Today, reevaluate your financial goals for 2020. Rather than fretting over goals you set at the beginning of the year, such as hitting a certain number in your savings account or maxing out your retirement contributions, give yourself some grace. Everyone is operating under extraordinary circumstances right now. Even if you still have a stable income, you're dealing with stress, anxiety and possibly illness and grief. It's okay not to reach every financial goal in the coming months.
That's especially true if you had a certain investing goal, Dan Keady, chief financial planning strategist at TIAA, tells CNBC Make It. Your accounts have likely taken a hit in recent weeks and checking in on them and expecting them to live up to expectations won't make you feel better. Instead, he suggests taking charge of things you can control, like making a budget and understanding your cash flow. Those are simple, manageable tasks that can ease anxiety.
