What are your top financial goals?
The one thing I have learnt about financial goals is that they are ever changing. When I was in college, I wanted to retire at 35. I’m almost 35 now and no where close to retirement, partly because I don’t want it anymore. Once your basic financial necessities such as house, car, reasonable savings, and so on are taken care of — which depend on your subjective definition of ‘enough’ — financial goals aren’t just a number. For me, goals signify a hunger for achievement.
