With 2018 almost three weeks in, there are a lot of people who are making good on, or trying to keep up with their New Year's resolutions.

Whether it be to lose weight, quit smoking, or be more financially responsible, only about 20% of people will make it to February continuing with their resolution.

For those who are hoping to keep a better watch on their finances, or those looking to invest their money in 2018, financial expert Aaron Ruston tells us with the legalization of marijuana coming this year, cannabis Stocks may be a good place to start.

"I know to a lot of people, they take the position that they're wrong – for various reasons. But the reality is, in the marketplace, they're here and they're here to stay. Many studies shown on both sides of the discussion, over the next number of years trends are showing that they're going to do very well."

"The reality is the markets are moving forward, society is moving forward – whether we like it or not. If you're looking at it from an investment perspective you can have great growth opportunities in the investment world, and you can still protect your principal completely."

With marijuana becoming legal across the country on July 1, Ruston says it's a great time to be an investor.
