Financial Goals – determines your own north

  • About our last post , marking the first 6 months of existence of the page, it seemed useful to address the issue of goals as part of managing our personal finances . As we take time to think about where we want to go to this page, everyone should do the same exercise to define where it wants to further their financial situation.
  • Goals resulting from such exercise will determine our strategies and the way they face many of the decisions we have to take in the future, then a wrong approach can have very negative effects. For this reason, setting goals is not a process that should be dealt with lightly, but rather should be done thoroughly and considering all the concerns and folly that everyone can have. Remember, we are all unique beings and, therefore, require different motivations for moving forward.
    There are certain guidelines that should be common to all targets, allowing them to be really useful and motivating. Then, put them in black and white, we must ensure that it meets
  • Achievable – It is essential that after the respective analysis of the situation, we know we can achieve the goal. No one benefits from a goal that is beyond their possibilities.
  • Measurable – We need to know how much we have progressed and how much we need to reach the goal. And it should be a number (or measure progress) easy to calculate and easy to interpret.
  • Specific – the objective should read exactly what we want to achieve. Speaking of numbers, as far as possible, it is more useful to put a conceptual goal.
  • Flexible – The goal should adapt to our personal evolution, new needs, tastes, motivations, etc.

Investment – Equity Growth
The savings alone is not enough. There are effects such as inflation, for example, that even low, in the long term achieve a significant deterioration in the purchasing power of our money. Therefore, it is important to invest.
But also, if we do it right, the investment will allow us to significantly increase our heritage, thanks to the magic of compound interest.
The savings alone is not enough: we must learn to invest. It is therefore important to learn about investment: What’s the risk? How to build a portfolio suited to our goal and our personal risk tolerance? Among many other concepts that are indispensable.
Heritage
In the world there are risks that can seriously affect our heritage. Events as simple as a car accident (which were responsible) to others as severe as an earthquake.
Therefore, heritage protection becomes an essential element which must not be forgotten. Unfortunate that something unexpected would clear the effort we’ve put so many years to achieve our life goals.

However, we can introduce money on our children, for example by letting him hold the money to then pay the cashier. This is the first step child knows money.

For children who had entered elementary school. We can give our children an allowance and introduce it to the pocket and saving. We can teach the benefits of saving money by asking what items he wants and then help tell how to save money so he can have the goods.

This can help to better understand the spirit of saving and what are the benefits of saving him.

Children who are not accustomed to saving money, usually will always spend money given to him. Parents can help eliminate snack habits in children by explaining that if all the money given is used for snacks, meaning no money is saved and consequently the child can not buy the goods he wanted.
