Blue Monday: A Day Dedicated to New Year’s Failures
Fort Lauderdale, FL – (PRWEB) January 13, 2016 -- Blue Monday is known as - the most depressing day of the year. It is a phenomenon where miserable conditions occur on or around the third week of January and include record low temperatures, failing unrealistic New Year’s resolutions and the general slow down after the holidays. For most, the depressive state is also fueled by the arrival of post-holiday bank and credit card statements.
Experts at Debt.com discovered that Blue Monday exists because instead of prioritizing the immediate needs following the New Year, they choose to create new needs that they may not be ready to tackle.
“When a budget and plan is in place, a clear path to better days is formed. Completing goals in the order of urgency helps people to stay on the right track and supports a goal-oriented state of mind, then, people can begin to make realistic goals and resolution,” says Howard Dvorkin, CPA and Chairman of Debt.com
