“Take care of yourself” is the name of Swiss Life’s brand campaign. How can young people or families become active and make financial provisions for themselves? Here are a few thoughts for the New Year!
As part of the “Care for You” campaign, Swiss Life collected good intentions from Switzerland and all over Europe. For example Markus from Sissach. He says: “From now on I’ll put something aside every year!” A clever idea – but how can Markus implement it?
A simple tip helps. If you decide to regularly put money into your savings account, it will take a lot of self-discipline month after month. Something always comes up that is more important. The new winter shoes, an evening in the restaurant...
This is a better way : Have the savings amount deducted from your account at the beginning of the month - this way you don't include this money in your budget from the start. Of course, in real emergencies you should get your money quickly!
Intelligent savings plans with Swiss Life
“I want to see the world and travel to Cape Town,” says Sina from Basel. A nice destination - and when, if not during your studies, do you have time totravel around the world? It's best, the experts for good resolutions advise, to make the goal as specific as possible.
- When should it start?
- Who's joining?
- And how much do you have to save for it?
Then it’s time to implement it step by step – have a good trip!
In fact, it's not that easy to stick to good resolutions. 60 percent of Germans find this difficult, as the Tagesspiegel reports . Resolutions should be realistic and achievable . Even if the wish is formulated too vaguely, failure is inevitable. “I want to take part in my company’s charity run without gasping” has a much greater chance of success than “I want to get fit” .
Swiss Life invites you to post your good resolutions under #vorsaetze2016 on the social media wall via Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. Then you realize that you are not alone with your hopes and wishes - maybe you feel like Jolly from Oslo? She writes: “Time to take my finances seriously! That’s one of my New Year’s resolutions!” – illustrated with a picture of a budget.
