Goals are a good thing to have in place, it gives you something to strive for and a sense of accomplishment when you get there. Remember these aren't made in stone, you can adapt, change, and start over at any time, ad one, there is no golden rule for your own personal goal. Just make your goals achievable, some short term, some mid term and of course some long term and over all goals.
This is what I would like to achieve as of right now.
Under a year- Pay off car
Short term, 1-2 years
Learn to get to 80% or better in food shopping couponing, as well as some dry goods.
Get credit card and medical bills lowered at least 25% of what they are now.
De stress by remembering life could be far worse, and can only get better if I work hard.
Mid term, 3-5 years
Pay off medical bills and credit cards.
Have a firm understanding of how to coupon for myself and my family to help out as needed.
Start relaxing even more without all the excess to worry about
Long term, 5+ years
Live debt free (mortgage not included unless I'm REALLY good)
Be living life to the fullest without bills looming over my head
Nothing to hard to achieve or far fetched. And I can add and specify more clearly as I start to get closer to achieving my goals.
These are great goals and realistic. Keep it up!
