It would be hard to find someone who wasn’t working toward improving their finances in one way or another — saving for retirement, building up an emergency fund, paying off credit card debt or student loans.
Maybe your goals are a bit more ambitious or your financial situation more complicated. Are you saving to start your own business, living off your savings to pursue a dream, trying to navigate how to send triplets to school at the same time? Are you in a never-ending debt cycle you’re working to stop? Are you working toward financial stability to achieve another goal? We want to hear from you.
Managing money isn’t easy, especially when inflation is ticking up, long-term unemployment is on the rise and tariffs are starting to affect businesses large and small. Managing a typical monthly budget can be especially difficult at a time like this, making more extraordinary financial circumstances seemingly impossible to tackle and challenging goals harder to reach.
And they can’t be achieved overnight. So The New York Times is interested in following people for a year to see how they make progress toward their goals and overcoming their roadblocks. Tell us about your current long-term financial goals — big and small — using the form below or emailing [email protected].
We’ll read every response and reach back out to you if we are interested in learning more about your story. The Times won’t publish any part of your response without following up with you first, verifying your information and hearing back from you. And we won’t share your contact information outside the Times newsroom or use it for any reason other than to get in touch with you.
