In this lesson, you learned about the importance of being clear about financial goals. Write three financial goals for yourself. Putting your goals in writing is a vital step to achieving them! Will your goals be short-term or long-term? In either case, your goals should be specific: you should write them in a way that states exactly what you want to accomplish (for example, "I will have $50 in a savings account," not "I want to save more money"). Start each goal with the words "I will," and write your goals in the form of a short paragraph.
