Financial Goals

source
Some people want to be rich overnight and it is that easy, unless you are into gambling or Ponzi that gives you so much big money overnight.
I remember my friend that played a bet and won millions, that was his luck. Wealth must be pushed by certain things. You cannot sleep today as a poor man and wake up tomorrow as a rich man without doing something. There must be something you are doing to make that wealth come overnight.
If you want to be on top in finance, there are certain procedures to look into. Financial goals are very important. It gives you directions and you ought to know what you will use the money to do per time.
Some people spend everything that comes to their hands without planning their future.

The following are financial goals I set for myself

• Investment: I invested online and am also looking for a way to invest in real life. Right now, I am doing my business plan. I want to also engage in something that will also generate income for me aside from the online job I am doing.
  i have been planning to get a place in my location and start selling foreign clothes, shoes, jeans and many more. i have done my survey and I know what the big boys and big girls in my area need them. They go to long places to get those materials costly.

• Saving: Remember to always leave something in your bank account, especially if you are not into insurance. Saving is one way of meeting your emergency needs. We might not 100% guess what will happen to us tomorrow. Saving helps not to run into debt at times.
  Last month, my miscellaneous got finished on the way and I received an email that needed my urgent attention.
  When I got there, I spent money that I did not expect. If I did not have savings, I would have run into heavy debt. This is the reason you need to save morning for any future occurrence.
  I saved 15% of my money and also invested every month, and I can pull out this money whenever i want it. But I am not going to pull out now, I will keep saving it till I retire so that i can have something when I am retired from work.

• Don’t Be Comfortable With Your Salary: Salary can never make you wealthy unless you are a politician. Salary can only help you to sustain living but cannot make you wealthy. If salary makes one wealthy, you would have seen government workers among the richest and wealthiest on Earth.
  Make sure you have other things to do, if you can do business, don’t hesitate to do it. Make sure you create multiple incomes for yourself.
  I have friends who work as government workers. Before the salary is paid, they have already borrowed money. After paying their debt, nothing is left for them again: this is how they keep on living their lives.
  Do not spend more than what you earn: Spending beyond your income is not a good way to manage your financial goals.
  your spending should be less than your income; Spending more than your income is like you are spending everything without remaining a small amount to solve an emergency situation. Unless you keep the money for emergencies aside before squandering what is left.
  Spending everything is like a prodigal son that asked his father his portion of the properties and went away to spend everything.
  Later found himself in a messy place, eating the food that was made for pigs and sleeping in the bad environment.
  This is how most of the people who spend more than what they earn ends up doing. They will end up living in penury and also pegging for food or money.

Planning: It is better to get a jotter and pen, write whatever you need every month. Trying to ask for their prices and do the analysis. Go to many places for their prices, compare the prices and write the best price down.
Budgeting whatever you want to buy every month will help you to manage your finances and help you to save more.

Don’t Compare Yourself to Others: This can result in pressure. You want to buy a piece of clothing for $100 because your friend got one: and you know that your friend is earning more than you. Such a person will end up borrowing money or run into debt.
In finances, don’t compare yourself to anybody, cut your clothes according to your height. You don’t need to go for $100 clothe but find the one you can afford without pressure.

To live a good life, there are many things you need to practicalize.
Financial goals are one of them.
Living in poverty is very annoying and hurts to the bone.
But, you can step out of poverty by practicing financial goals.
