2)Buying a new car or home improvements wont help as investments, means these are depreciating assets no matter what when you sell, you will get lesser money than you invested.

3) Have a discussion with your family so that everyone co-operates to help you keep your resolution. When discussing with your kids let your sentences be tailor made for their age.
