Then, for example, if we’re really tempted to go out to eat instead of just grabbing something from home, we think of our goal. If we’re looking at them each day or week when we’re tracking expenses in the binder, we renew our commitment and drive to reach them. These goals and action steps are in the front of the binder for a reason– they’re there as a constant reminder of what we’re working toward. However we decide to do it, it’s not enough to just set the goal. Or maybe we can cut down on our budget in other areas like clothing or eating out to come up with the extra cash. Maybe we can get an extra little side job to make some additional money to put toward the debt. Maybe we’ll plan to make a double payment each month. We’ll write it down on this page, give ourselves a timeframe in which to complete it (by the end of December 2022), and then we’ll list the action steps that we are going to take in order to reach that goal. Let’s say we’ve set a goal to pay off our student loans in the next year. When Donnie and I take the time to sit down together and write out our financial goals, it puts us on the same page, and we are much more likely to achieve what we set out to do! Goal setting is oh-so-important to me, especially when it comes to finances.
