1. Set financial goals

One of the first steps in establishing a healthy relationship with money is setting financial goals. Having a specific goal can help you stay motivated and focused, and can provide a sense of di=rection and purpose. Consider setting both short-term and long-term goals, and be sure to make them SMART(Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound). For example, a short-term goal might be to save $500 for an emergency fund, while a long-term goal might be to save enough for a down payment on a house.

  • Measurable: Can you identify milestones to hit along your way to success?

SMART Goals are Not Smart

Most of the books dealing with goal-setting talk about S.M.A.R.T. goal framework - goals that are: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-bound.

While this is a good start, being time-bound in our new self-commitments has its drawbacks.
