[Shaf]

Having a great state of personal finance is one of the dreams of many people, which we work hard towards achieving. Many people don't know how to set those goals, or how to do it properly. This article will help you get started the right way.

The first thing to do is to realize that you need to set and plan for your financial goals. With that set, you should start from top to bottom, that is, you set long term goals, then medium term goals and lastly short term goals.

Your goals should be very specific, measurable, achievable and realistic too. You can work alone or with someone to help you work on the plan.

You should also have a deadline for the goals, especially short term goals. Find out what will help you achieve them and any hindrances that will stop you and how you can manage them.

Implementing your plan is as important as setting your goals. Most people fail not because they don't know what to do, bit because they fail to do what is necessary at the right time.

Setting financial goals is one of the most important things you can do to ensure your financial success.

The first few years of your career are usually the most important ones, as they determine how much money you'll be making over the next decade or so. And if you're not careful, it's possible that those first few years could be spent working for someone else or worse, doing nothing at all!

So here are some tips for setting financial goals:

1) Make sure you're aware of what your current situation is. Are you a recent graduate? Maybe you're trying to save up money to pay off student loans or buy a house. If so, make sure that's what your goal is!

2) Consider what kind of lifestyle you want in the future. Are you interested in traveling? Buying a car? Having children? These are all things that affect how much money you need to make each month, so take some time to figure out how much money goes towards each of these things before diving into setting financial goals.

3) Look at different types of accounts and see which ones work best for your situation. either checking accounts or savings accounts (or both!), retirement accounts (401k), etc.
