How Capital One can help with your end-of-year finance review

The end of the year is a good time to get introspective. To reflect on how things went in 2023 and make plans for 2024. But many of us resist doing this kind of an end-of-year review for our personal finances. What if we don’t like what we see? Adam Davis, VP of Financial Health and Liquidity at Capital One, contends that you can do an annual look back at your finances—without beating yourself up for what didn’t go well.

On this episode of Queer Money®, Adam returns to explain why it’s beneficial to do an end-of-year personal finance review, identifying patterns in your spending and reframing missteps as opportunities. Adam also challenges us to do an annual look ahead at our finances, discussing how to set money goals for the new year and maintain our enthusiasm past January 17th.

Listen in to understand the benefit of communicating financial goals with your loved ones and learn how Capital One’s tools and resources can help with your end-of-year financial review.
