It’s that time of year again. You’ve overindulged in Thanksgiving turkey, embarrassed yourself at the office party, spent four hours researching big-screen TVs and now you’re ready to spend five minutes on your financial life.

Step #1: Look at last year’s to-do list.

Step #2: Make excuses why none of it was addressed.

Step #3: Downplay the importance of estate planning, debt management and the like and focus solely on investments so you can boast when you’re out there on the cocktail party circuit that while the S&P earned this and that you earned 300% on some hot stock.
