  • The Spave Team’s 2024 Goals and Resolutions

    At Spave, we don’t just talk—we live by action. We believe that approaching giving with the same importance as saving is key to your unlocking financial wholeness. In our work, that means ensuring the Spave app makes giving and saving as easy and impactful as possible. So, when we shared our tips on how to make resolutions last in the new year, we also took the time to make personal goals that help us adjust our habits for the better. Here’s what our team is working on in the coming year:

    “A Peloton 52-week streak— which means working out consecutively for 52 weeks. Peloton’s analytics dashboard keeps me motivated! I also want to “slow down” and enjoy the everyday moments with my 4-year-old and husband.”
    – Katie T., Partnership & Marketing Manager

    “Read more books—I’ve started with The Mindful Brain by Daniel Siegel.”
    – Brianna P., Chief Brand Officer

    “Cook myself dinner at least 4 times a week and visit my grandparents at least twice a month.”
    – Max M., Product Manager

    “More spaving, more movement, more time with friends—and to think about doing weight training! To do lists and putting things on my calendar motivates me to reach my goals.”
    – Shannan H., Purpose Program Manager

    “’Extreme accountability’ is my new mantra for 2024 — embracing it with humble boldness.”
    – Susan L., Founder & Chief Executive Officer

    “2024 is about improving my overall health through exercising at least 5 days per week, doing random acts of kindness, journaling and reading at least 1 book a month.”
    – Amy K., Chief Operating Officer

    “Balance work and training to complete a 100 mile running race.”
    – Alex R., Director of Software Development

    We’re so excited to strive for our goals and growth! In the coming weeks, you can also expect updates how we’re going to further refine and develop the Spave app to hit some of our biggest goals yet.

    Christmas money provides you with a unique opportunity. A lump sum of extra spending cash can make one huge splash or be used by spreading it out among a few projects and priorities. Maybe you’ve been waiting all year for enough funds to buy something big, or perhaps you like to spread it out and savor the Christmas spending until May. Either way, we would all love to be able to give more this year and transform lives.
