Elizabeth O'Brien is a senior writer at Money

Who’s making New Year’s resolutions? If that seems like tempting fate after the pandemic quashed plans this year, then skip it. On the other hand, making grand promises for 2021 might seem like a fitting way to give 2020 the boot. Whatever works! If you’re looking for some manageable goals, check out the 21 money moves that Money staff rounded up for 2021. As for me, both my kitchen and my portfolio are in need of an overhaul, so I resolve to tackle that in the New Year.

Best wishes,
Elizabeth
