Goals!

Yes, goals are important, without them I personally would be lost.
But what have goals to do with economy you might ask?

Well, everything would be my answer! If you, for example, want to buy a car in 2 years, and you have to save up some money in order to buy it, your goal would be the car and not the money. So everytime you need to make money or save money, you can think of your car that will be yours.

So in that case a car will be your motivation to earn money or to save them. Of course it can be anything, that motivate you, your family, vacation, or even money itself. The point is, if it´s working for you when use it.

Sometimes, to have a big goal that you will reach in a couple of years, and it´s to long to motivate you to reach your goal. Then, you should also set up lesser goals, that you can reach faster. Maybe, instead of having a certain amount of money at the bank, your goal will be half that sum, in half the time. When it wont takes as much time to reach your and you will still get a good feeling when you reach it!
