1. What are your personal money goals for 2017? #MondayMoneyUK
A1: personal money goal for 2017 is: get back on track by budgeting, meal planning and not spending unless I can justify it! #mondaymoneyuk

I’m hoping to make this the year I FINALLY buy my own place. Putting in an offer on a place this week. Hope it’s accepted! #MondayMoneyUK https://t.co/xjj0L3qWjq

#MondayMoneyUK #1 My personal goal is to save enough to pay for all the travelling I want to do 😉

#1 Start making a little extra cash through a few online endeavours, maybe enough to start saving for early retirement #MondayMoneyUK

I’m going in bold: personal money goal – aiming to up my cash reserves to £100k for potential house purchase in near future #MondayMoneyUK https://t.co/Bec68OfkS9

2. Lots of people will have their own money resolutions – how can people stick to them? #MondayMoneyUK
A2 Often it’s the vague goals that fail. So “save some money” isn’t as motivating as “Save £500 for flights to New York” #MondayMoneyUK
— Andy Webb CleverCash (@AndyCleverCash) January 2, 2017
A2 be very clear what your plans are, so you know where you are going and how much nearer you are getting #MondayMoneyUK https://t.co/eTbYY38uly

A2 Keeping track of all the little successes helps me keep going, so I can see the results. Do love my spending spreadsheet! #MondayMoneyUK https://t.co/uZ9FMlIyHq

A2: at the start of each month we look at what we achieved the previous month & how close that brings us to our goal #MondayMoneyUK https://t.co/mY4yerbFz8

@WiserWealthier @TheFrugalTeen @AndyCleverCash 12 months is a very long time. Goals can change too #MondayMoneyUK

@AndyCleverCash Late to the party as usual 😂 I find telling everyone about my financial goals helps me stay accountable #MondayMoneyUK

@AndyCleverCash if you want to stick to resolutions, make them SMART ones : https://t.co/1jBQAZ2lzm #MondayMoneyUK

3. What do you think will be the big issues in the world of personal finance in 2017? #MondayMoneyUK
@AndyCleverCash For younger people, getting their first home has and will continue to be a HUGE concern #MondayMoneyUK
— Wiser Wealthier (@WiserWealthier) January 2, 2017
Rising price inflation, digital and traditional fraud, volatile stock markets #MondayMoneyUK https://t.co/K0Elt9IBvR
— Martin Bamford (@martinbamford) January 2, 2017
A3 some vicious benefit cuts are due to be implemented this year, landlords are targeted too, horrible mixture #MondayMoneyUK https://t.co/VeL34EYJ8I
— Lesley Negus (@Thriftylesley) January 2, 2017
@AndyCleverCash interest only mortgages – a LOT of them end in 2017 and many people have no repayment plans 🙁 https://t.co/b7l3lLzx5A
— Debt Camel (@DebtCamel) January 2, 2017
A3. Possibly yet more changes to pensions. Plus expecting even lower interest rates on savings, hence considering investing #MondayMoneyUK https://t.co/suxq2l6OrK
— MuchMoreWithLess (@MuchMore_Less) January 2, 2017
A3 – Honestly have no idea but hoping it’s not going to be as bad as some people predict! #MondayMoneyUK
— Cass (@frugalfamily) January 2, 2017
4. What are some ways people can kickstart their finances in 2017? #MondayMoneyUK
@AndyCleverCash A4: go through everything! What I plan to do this week and prep my 2017 budget! See where gains can be made! #mondaymoneyuk
— Natalya 🐱 (@Cottage_R) January 2, 2017
SO late to the party here… but sit down and get a plan together. What do you want, and what do you need to do to get it. #MondayMoneyUK https://t.co/0I0hsqSV1t

— Andy Webb CleverCash (@AndyCleverCash) January 2, 2017
A4. Last year, I resolved to make small changes each month to cut costs & earn more. Saved £9,000! https://t.co/iNd0WQARUZ #MondayMoneyUK https://t.co/aSDE8ij30W
