It has become a tradition that every new year I wish you all a Happy New Year 2018. A Happy Financial New Year is also my wish for you and your loved ones. The New Year will start cold and snowy in Ottawa, so here is my New Year Wish.

All Those Happy New Years
Yes, for many years I have wished you a Happy New Year
- Happy New Year 2025 May this New Year find you safe and happy. 2024 was a year to remember for its turmoil, but find a way to make 2025 a better one. It’s time to get back to the gym and plan on staying out of debt. Enjoy the coming year! #Debt #NewYear #Resolution
- Happy New Year 2024! What will the year 2024 bring? Let’s hope it is a Happy New Year, but there is potential for a great deal of upheaval in the coming year. #NewYear #Happy2024
- Happy New Year 2022 and #MoneyTalk recapped a lot of 2021 and hoped that 2022 was going to bring some hope.
- A happy new year for 2021 ? Well it started pretty grotty, but it might get better.
- I must have had an inkling about 2020, as I didn’t wish you a Happy New Year to start things. Hopefully with this post I have helped make the year better?
- In 2019 I was too practical with Tangible Financial New Years Resolutions but still worthwhile thinking about it, eh?
- For Happy New Year 2018 I had a great photo of being stuck on the 401 during a snowstorm, and links to previous New Year Messages.
- 2017 I pointed out that you start paying CPP and EI again, so your net pay is going to be lower.
- 2016 Happy New Year, just didn’t happen, not sure why, must have been having a grinchy holiday?
- 2015 Happy New Year and I included a really bad joke about it being the year of the RAM in the Chinese Calendar.
- 2014 Happy New Year again I pointed out that CPP and EI rates were increasing as well, I really am a kill joy.
- 2013 was a Happy New Year, a celebratory Sunday was the photo to start the year.
- 2012 I used to post best of Twitter posts, and it seems to have fallen on a Sunday as well.
- Merry New Year! It All Starts again was how 2011 started, and I included a bunch of resolutions in that article.
- 2010 New Year began with me in a new job, which was very nice, given I had been unemployed for a while.
- 2009 started a little bleak, in that I was unemployed, and was looking for a job, during a major economic crisis.
- Belated Happy and Prosperous New Year was how 2008 started, the economy was booming, employment was high, but there were hints of the systemic failure that was coming soon.
- Good Bye 2008, outlined the eventful year that it was for me. Things got better, but a lot didn’t go right that year.
- A New Year Brings Tax Breaks? The tax breaks appeared in 2007 but later disappeared, unfortunately.
- Happy 2007 a quieter year, we hoped.
- 2006 I was still figuring out what this whole thing would be, but I showed signs of a ranting good time.
New Year’s Resolutions
I have written about financial resolutions and resolutions in general a great deal as well.
- Financial New Year Resolutions , Start Now ! Discusses a study by the University of Scranton and why people don’t succeed with their resolutions.
- Honest New Year Resolutions points out the importance of being honest with yourself when you try to set your resolutions.
- Sarcastic Financial New Year Resolutions, me sarcastic? Yes, I don’t have much luck with resolutions, so naturally I get sarcastic about them too.
- Personal Finance Resolutions for the New Year? I went into a lot of detail on that one of all the good things you can do at the start of a year.
Happy Financial Year to you, Alan, too and to other readers. I am trading regularly with options and I wonder if 2018 will be as profitable as 2017 was. Greetings from Germany.
