Making More Money in 2017

I decided last year that in 2017 I would increase my earnings. The first decision has already rendered a great response. When you make up of your mind, not your feelings, not your beliefs but your mind anything is possible. The other idea I implemented was changing careers, that has been a learning curve but I am 6 days into the New Year and I already have accomplished a certification for the new career change. The other thing that has been motivational is I decided what I want to make. If you ask me how can you do that? I have completed some training for a certain career field and graduate school.
I am prior military and those skills are transferable. I decided I would not whine and complain about the job I will resign from in a few weeks. I decided I would be grateful for what I have learn and moved toward making more money in 2017. It is about my decisions and putting in the work to make my year monumental. Making more money is always nice, but my motive behind financial freedom is leaving a legacy for my children and their children's children. If I do not plan, it is certain I will not succeed. Are you planning to make more money in 2017? If so, why?

Yes, I am planning to make more money and save more too. I am going to look for another part-time job in another universities. Aside from that, I am also investing my time in my blog. I might not earn soon on it but I know that in the long run I can monetize it.

@SDM1984 We ought to save money because we do not know when will emergency arise. Aside from that, it is really a good thing to save money and not splurge it all with things that we don't really need.

Aiming for the improvement in the financial situation is always part of my plans. Although there may be some hindrances, I would make sure to provide what is needed by the family. For me who has a permanent work, making some extra during my free time would be my best move. I am thankful to have a job, but if an opportunitycomes in for a better source, I would accept it. As of now, I am concentrating on having some extra and learning new skills.

You are doing well. Success in our life is based on taking decisions. Without decisions, there are no acts. As I already have a steady job which I like, I decided to work more online during my free time to get some extra money that I will use to save. Besides, 2017 will be a year to start learning again applying for some courses. Online and distance learning help to improve life, too.

Yes, I am planning to make more money in 2017 and even much more money this year, because I have an old house in Slovenia and it should be repaired. Also I would like to remove to Slovenia and I need money for my establishment there. Also I need money to brush my rural lot because I would like to give it under rent.
