December 10, 20253 min read

Clarity today creates confidence tomorrow.

As the year comes to a close, many women start thinking about everything they didn’t do financially. The goals they didn’t reach. The habits they didn’t maintain. The progress that didn’t happen.

But I want to offer you a different perspective.

Instead of looking back with pressure or judgment—step into the new year with clarity, purpose, and alignment.

Because the truth is this:

Your financial future isn’t shaped by luck.
It isn’t shaped by timing.
It’s shaped by what you pay attention to.

And the research is clear:
Women who review these four core financial numbers before January 1st experience:

  • Greater confidence in their decisions

  • Stronger financial habits

  • More aligned money choices

  • Up to 32% better long-term wealth outcomes

Today, you’ll learn exactly which numbers matter—and how to align them with your values, purpose, and financial goals for 2026.

Let’s walk into the new year intentionally, informed, and empowered.

THE 4 NUMBERS EVERY WOMAN SHOULD REVIEW BEFORE JANUARY 1ST

1. Savings Rate

Your Most Predictive Wealth Indicator

Data Insight:
Financial studies consistently show that your
savings rate is the #1 predictor of long-term wealth—more predictive than income, investment returns, or career success.

Values-Driven Question:
Are you saving in a way that reflects your long-term priorities and the life you're building?

How to Review:

  • Calculation: Total Saved ÷ Total Income for the Year

  • Aim for:20–30% or higher for accelerated wealth growth

  • Reflect: Does my savings reflect my vision—or my current comfort zone?

2. Net Worth

Your True Financial Baseline

Data Insight:
Your net worth gives you the clearest snapshot of your financial health. Women who track it quarterly make more confident and aligned money decisions.

Values-Driven Question:
Does your net worth reflect the life, freedom, and security you want to build?

How to Review:

  • List all assets (cash, investments, retirement accounts, real estate, business equity)

  • Subtract all liabilities (loans, debt, obligations)

  • Review quarterly trends:
    Are you moving in the direction you want?

Important Reminder:
Your net worth is not your personal worth.
It simply shows where you stand today—so you can grow with clarity tomorrow.

3. Investment Allocation

Where Your Money Lives and How Hard It Works

Data Insight:
The right investment allocation increases your long-term returns and reduces the emotional decision-making that causes so many women to feel stuck—even high-income earners.

Values-Driven Question:
Is your portfolio aligned with your goals, your risk tolerance, and the kind of wealth you want to grow?

How to Review:

  • Check your percentage mix of:

    • Stocks

    • Bonds

    • Real estate

    • Cash

    • Income-producing assets

  • Compare your mix to your time horizon and risk profile

  • Ask: Is my allocation aligned with the future I’m creating?

4. Cash Flow (Your Burn Rate)

The Hidden Number That Predicts Financial Stability

Data Insight:
Women who track their cash flow reduce financial stress by up to
60%and save more consistently over time.

Your burn rate reveals:

  • Where your money goes

  • How much is being wasted

  • How much is available for saving and investing

Values-Driven Question:
Does your spending reflect what you value most—or what feels urgent in the moment?

How to Review:

  • Look at your spending over the last 60–90 days

  • Identify spending aligned with values vs. emotional patterns

  • Notice small shifts that could create big impact

  • Ask: Does my cash flow support the life I want?
