Start Working Towards Your Financial Goals from Today

For most working-class Indians, life just gets in the way of attaining financial goals. With spouses, children, work, and home, there is never really a shortage of things to attend to. So, it becomes easy to put off those goals until “tomorrow.” For example, many people put off making sure that they have enough life insurance coverage, even though they would never want to leave their families in a financial bind. The unfortunate part of this hemming and hawing is that “tomorrow” never comes. Instead, the goals just get pushed back so far that people tend to forget they were there in the first place.

But today is a new day. There is nothing wrong with getting a fresh start now. Let’s take a look at a couple of questions that will trigger some ideas and help you get back on track.

Where do you want to be?

While you should be “content with where you are”, you are still encouraged to pore over yourself to determine how you can become better stewards of your resources.

Take some time to consider three to five financial goals that you would like to accomplish in the near future. These goals can include debt payoffs, such as credit cards or car loans. You can also consider planning for new big-ticket purchases rather than financing them.

Where are you now?

Before you can think about getting to where you want to be, you have to have a clear understanding of where you are RIGHT NOW. Surprisingly, most people do not truly know where they are at any given moment. They spend so much time living in the moment that they just do not see how today impacts what lies ahead.

In order to work toward improvement, you really need to create a snapshot of your current financial situation. You should review your cash flow — your income and expenses. You should also get a clear picture of your outstanding debts. This will help you get a better idea of your starting position for working toward your goals.

How will you get there?

Getting to your goals requires planning. You need to determine financially what it will take to get to each goal. You should then determine how much you need to set aside in your monthly budget to get to your goal.

This may not be an easy process. It is most likely that you will need to make some changes to your spending habits in order to reach these goals. However, if you prioritize and use discipline, it can work. You are not promised tomorrow — none of us are. So, try to make an effort to eliminate procrastination and reach some of the goals that mean so much to you.
