Keep an open mind, but close your wallet. Change your focus this year to saving money and searching for unique ways to increase your income. Sell off what you no longer need or use, and declutter your space so you can breathe easily. Getting back to basics will give you the freedom and peace of mind you require to follow your dreams and improve your future.

Transform your life with small changes. Personal changes you incorporate that help you perform at your best will boost your confidence and encourage you to add to your skills and experience. Use your imagination in every aspect of life, find unique ways to solve problems and handle responsibilities with finesse. Open your heart to those you love, and the comfort you offer will bring high returns.

Dear Car Talk:

Set boundaries, have a goal in mind and adopt a disciplined attitude that helps you stay on course. Use your connections, clout and powers of persuasion, and you will overcome any obstacle you encounter. Controlling your emotions will be difficult but doable, and your success will depend on how well you handle those who pose a problem. Avoid joint ventures, subscriptions and shared expenses.

Dear Car Talk:

Stepping outside felt like walking into a blast furnace.

Dear Car Talk:

Take a step forward. Don’t fear change. Try something new and exciting, and you’ll meet people who encourage you to thrive. Sign up for something that inspires a positive shift in your life. Trust your instincts instead of letting someone else intervene. Invest time and money into what you want to do with the rest of your life.

Dear Car Talk,

Being receptive, curious and selective will make a difference this year. Join in the conversation and question what’s real and what’s fiction. Knowledge is a powerful tool that can help you succeed. Be a leader, not a follower, and you will map out a path that carries you to a brighter future.
