Setting Your First Goal
01.Why Goals Matter
If you don't know where you are sailing, any wind is the wrong wind. The same goes for money! A financial goal is simply a target you save for. Having a goal makes it exciting to save because you can picture the reward at the end.
02.Short-Term vs. Long-Term
A short-term goal is something you want to buy soon, like a new book next month. A long-term goal takes patience, like saving for a bicycle next year or college in ten years. Breaking big goals into smaller, monthly chunks makes them feel easy!
03.Your First Target
Write down your target, find out how much it costs, and calculate how much you need to save each week. Watching your savings grow closer to your goal is one of the best feelings in the world!
