Instead, slowly but surely, people choose a one-off exception, and vow not to let it happen again. These little white lies help ease our guilt, but they also undermine our goals until they are left unfulfilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, your wallet can&#8217;t lie. We can justify questionable decisions, cloud our own judgement, and excuse behaviour that runs counter to our beliefs &amp; goals, our wallets may hold the key to keeping us on track. Wallets may be the magical truth serum of the personal finance world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start Listening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Listening to your wallet begins with keeping an honest, written record of every dime you spend. Many studies have shown that writing down goals and tracking progress increases the likelihood of achieving those goals. And while writing down every purchase isn&#8217;t anyone&#8217;s idea of a great time &#8211; here&#8217;s the thing &#8211; it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If tracking your daily activities in order to hold yourself accountable sounds familiar, it&#8217;s likely because the concept has been advocated by nutritional professionals for years. It turns out that when people are brought face-to-face with their caloric reality &#8211; every bite &#8211; they are more likely to maintain the focus on their fitness goals. Additionally, this accountability helps form positive dietary habits. Eventually, the need to write down every item of food eaten gradually recedes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listening to your wallet by tracking every purchase gives real visibility into your budget and generally can bring you closer to meeting your financial goals. Even if they seemed unattainable at first. Comparing real spending to a goal-oriented budget can be just the motivational boost needed, in order to evolve from a goal-setter to a goal-achiever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Kyle Prevost&#8217;s financial writing has been featured in the Globe and Mail, National Post, Metro, MoneySense magazine, Canadian MoneySaver and Maclean&#8217;s amongst others.<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/discover.rbcroyalbank.com\/your-wallet-tells-the-truth-about-your-goals\/#rds-legal-collapsible\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-rbc-default-collapsible\"><p><button class=\"collapse-toggle collapsed\" data-target=\"#collapse834a1009\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse834a1009\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57738-834a1009\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"accordion closed\" action-closed=\"accordion closed\" action-opened=\"accordion open\" data-dig-label=\"Things our lawyers want you to know\"><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><\/button><\/p><div class=\"collapse-content collapse\" id=\"collapse834a1009\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-collapsible-inner-block collapse-inner\">\n<p>This article is intended as general information only and is not to be relied upon as constituting legal, financial or other professional advice.
