Setting Reachable Financial Goals by Elizabeth Williams

Creating a budget is a common need for everyone to tackle in order to put their money to work. However, before a budget is established, financial goals need to be set in order to provide a basis for the budget. The financial goals provide the long term motivation to stay with the budget.

Clear and concise

Any goal-making should be done in a clear and easy to understand manner. Specific goals should look something like this: retire by age 65 with $1,000,000 in retirement investments. If you say “I am going to go on a vacation in the Caribbean” with no details behind it, then that does not qualify as a goal. It is only a simple assertion of your intentions.

You need to take time to think about what you want your goals to be and then write them down on paper. Even if they are somewhat unclear or lack adequate details, you can add those after you have them committed to paper.

Short, Mid, Long term goals

Once you have your goals on paper and have taken the time to add the details about them so that they are goals and not just statements of your desires, then you need to separate them into groups based on the duration it will take to reach them. This way, you will know what you need to begin to work on right away, and what can wait.

Once you have them segregated in this manner, you can look at your short and midterm goals to see if there is a natural progression towards your long term goals. Must they all be this way? No, but if you have those goals which are progressive, then you will be able to perform the short term before long term. A good example of this would be a goal to obtain a degree in nursing before you can reach your goal of being a nurse in a hospital.

Reachable goals

Realistic goals are reachable goals. For example, if you are ready to retire, but have a goal to begin to work towards making a billion dollars by the time you are 70, then this would be considered unreachable. If you make goals this way, you will become disillusioned and stop paying attention to goals at all because you never reach those which you set.

Take a look at your goals and see if you can break the individual goals into smaller ones that will help you see some progress towards the larger goal.

Flexible goals

Because of life events, sometimes our goals must change. If there is a passing of someone who was a major part of one of your goals, you might have to change that goal. Do not be afraid of changing goals if circumstances dictate. Only be concerned about wanting to change them in order to satisfy an emotional and temporary feeling or desire. You might not be able to forgive yourself for breaking that goal and taking yourself out of your dream.

These tips work for not only financial goals but any other goals that you make in life. Use them to help propel yourself towards your dreams.

12 Ways to Not Go Broke Over The Holidays!

Time is running out for Christmas shopping, but you can still save money with my 12 days of Christmas list of ways to save money over the holidays. Follow these steps, and you'll avoid a credit card hangover in January.


1. Shop online, especially if you are buying electronics. Online retailers have less overhead, more rebate promotions, and they will lower their prices deliberately to compete with brick-and-mortar retailers.


2. Pay Cash for your gifts. I'm talking about paying with cold, hard cash. Studies have shown a correlation with increased spending when using plastic, even if it's your debit card. Remember, negotiating price is easier when you pay with cash.


3. Stay away from shopping malls. I have no clue why so many people are drawn to the atmosphere of a busy, crowded shopping mall. All of the most expensive retailers are in the mall, because they are the only ones that can afford the lease agreement in shopping malls. The frenzy of watching everyone else spend might influence you to spend over your budget. There's a reason why shopping malls constantly pump music in your ear. They know that it motivates you to get into the holiday spending spirit!


4. Do your research. If you prefer seeing the gifts before you purchase them, then go online first and do pricing research to make sure that you are getting the best deal. iTunes has an application for the iPhone and iPod Touch that allows you to scan a 2D or 1D bar code and receive tons of pricing research from other retailers.


5. Avoid impulse buys. Sometimes we see something that looks, smells, and feels like a great deal, but in reality it's not that great of a deal. We get caught up in the moment of shopping, so we go ahead and purchase something without much thought. To avoid this, if you see something that you weren't planning on buying, put it down and sleep on it. If you still want to buy it the next day, then go back to the store and buy it. This will avoid buying lame gifts that seemed make much more sense when you bought them.


6. eBay is still a good resource for hard-to-find gifts. If you are looking for a collector's item or antique as a gift, eBay is still the leader and best place to find a bargain on these items. Clothes are also great items to buy on eBay. I would avoid buying everyday electronics on eBay. It's too risky, because many of them are not new, or they are imposters made to look like the actual product.


7. Write down everyone you want to buy a gift for and put a dollar amount next to each of their names. For instance, mom gets a $50 gift, sister gets a $30 gift, and so on. It sounds like you are taking away the "spirit" of giving by placing a set dollar amount on gifts for each person, but in reality it helps you budget your gift giving. And remember that it's not about the gifts, it's about the thought and time you put into thinking about someone.


8. Do your December budget without factoring in Christmas bonuses. The holidays require a lot of extra cash to have on hand. Save your Christmas bonus for gifts, holiday food, and having fun. It's the holidays, relax and have fun with your family! If you already budget out your bills with your normal income and save the bonus for Christmas expenses, then this will save you from using credit cards on the holidays.


9. Be a creative gift giver. Many of you have a ton of talent when it comes to making crafts. Being creative and making a gift for someone can turn out to be a much better gift than receiving another Gap sweater. When faced with giving a gift to your parents who seem to have everything, go with something sentimental that reminds them of you or family memories. They'll eat it up with a spoon.


10. Spend time spending time with loved ones. So many people go to the movies and spend $8 on a ticket and $20 on food and candy. All this does is get you fatter on the holidays and avoid having to talk to your family. Play a board game, go bowling, or go to the park during the holidays. Try doing something that facilitates more time to catch up on what's going on in your lives.


11. Make the most of your leftovers. Another thing people do is go out to eat more on the holidays. Again, i'm not a scrooge, so live it up on the holidays, but don't go overboard. You'll spend more money on groceries over the holidays, so utilize and be creative with the yummy leftovers in your fridge.


12. Host a pot-luck New Year's Eve party. You'll spend much less money having a party at someone's house rather than going out somewhere, plus it's safer than going out. Ask your 8 - 10 closest couple friends over and assign them with a different food category to bring over. Some music, good laughs, and games will bring you through to the new year without killing your wallet.

Make Money During a Slow Economy

The economy is tough and the media isn't making anyone feel better about the future. Money is still out there and here are some proven ways to make it.

Sell stuff you don't need-I had a friend who recently had a garage sale at her home. She made about $300 in one afternoon. When I asked her what she sold she said, "nothing of real significance." You'd be amazed how much people will pay for your stuff. Tip: Jewelry and tools are hot items.


Referee at a local league-Local city leagues and schools hire people to referee their sporting events. If you know enough about the rules in sports like baseball, basketball, football, and hockey you can apply to become a ref.

Teach what you know-If you have knowledge of a subject you may want to consider teaching that subject part-time. There are many different ways you can do this. You can offer a one day class on the subject and charge a small fee. or maybe you can teach at adult education schools.



Pizza delivery in a good neighborhood- If you have a reliable car, this is another good way to make extra cash. Pick your pizza store location carefully. You want to be in a good area so that the customers tip well.

Start a small business-If you have a talent or service you are able to provide, you can become your own boss. Well, your own part-time boss anyway. Starting a small business is getting easier these days. If you know how to do anything well, most likely someone is will to pay you to do it.


Write for money- If you have some talent, you may consider writing for money. There are three sites that I write for that will pay for good articles.

Helium-This site gives you topics that you can give your opinion on. Your article gets rated by helium visitors and ranked based on votes. Helium shares a portion of the ad dollars that they make with you. The more your articles get viewed the more money you make so you have to write often in order for the money to really add up.

Associated Content-This site gives you the option to sell your articles to them and they would offer you a price for them. Or, you could also post articles and get paid per page impressions. Either way if you're a decent writer you will earn some income.

Constant Content- This site is not for your ordinary everyday blogger. This site gives you the option of submitting an article to them that is posted and available to be sold to anyone who would like to post the article on their website. Be careful, if they reject three of your articles because they weren't good enough, they will cancel your membership. So take a look at the type of articles they accept beforehand.


Valet park at nice hotels-It seems the extremely rich have not yet felt the sting of a slow economy. They are still traveling and they are still tipping their valets well. My brother-in-law recently started doing this for some extra cash. There two big advantages of this job.1. You go home with cash in your pocket every night.2.You get to test drive a Ferrari, Lotus, and a dozen different Benzes all night.

Multi Level Marketing- Sometimes called a pyramid scheme, most people shy away MLM. Most times it is a good idea but there are some programs that can earn you a some passive income. Think objectively before making any decision. Most MLM programs don't work but I know some people who are making about $1,000 a month. You can be successful at this but it does take some work.

Other ways to make money
-Ask for a raise
-organize events
-take surveys online
build a blog or website

In Sickness and in Wealth By: Tom Justice (Guest Post)

For StartersWhen asked to name an effective way of obtaining wealth, a common answer is: "Invest". What is the problem with this answer? Well, the majority of respondents have very little or no money in their savings account. I see the beginning of wealth building in a different light. A saying that almost everyone knows but nearly no one applies is: "A penny saved is a penny earned". In today's culture it is definitely much easier to spend money than it is to save it. The average American is exposed to 247 advertisements in one day! Less than 5% of Americans have at least $3000 in savings and no debt. It is no wonder that most consumers struggle with saving money or grasping the concept of building wealth. We are mentally flogged with television and radio commercials, newspaper and magazine ads, billboards, signs, posters and even conversations. Whatever the method, it all serves one main purpose - to take your money and make it theirs.

Unveiling the Mystery
So with all those statistics and all that advertising, how in the world is it possible to build wealth? Well consider yourself ahead of the game already. By reading this article you are opening your mind to ideas and concepts which could help you to begin the process which is more than can be said for most people out there. A house starts with a single brick and the same is true with wealth building. You have to start with what you can and keep adding to it.

Why not jump in to stocks, mutual funds or other investments right off the bat? Life will continue to happen whether you plan for it or not. So plan for it. You must start with a lump sum of money in your savings account which has been referred to as an "emergency savings". A good figure for this is $1000. You MUST pay your savings first, before anything else. If you do not, your savings will not grow (or it may not happen at all). This extra money will act as a soft landing for any financial falls that can and will occur while you pay down other debts that are road blocking your way to building wealth. You must realize though; this money is first priority but can not be touched - ONLY for emergencies. By following these 2 steps:
1) Stocking up your savings with $1,000 and then2) Eliminating extra debts (with great fervor), you will prepare yourself for a much easier road to building wealth.

Making it Happen
You have to take action now or this whole savings thing will not happen. First, get a savings account. If you have one, find out what the interest rate is. Many have something like 0.25% to 1% (WHOOPEE!). Remember that you are not trying to make all your money in interest right now but since the money is going to sit you may as well look around. It is possible to land up to a 3-5% interest rate. Another option is a money market account to get a good rate although restrictions sometimes apply for things like early withdrawal fees and keeping a minimum amount in the account at all times. Secondly, as I stated earlier, take your savings off the top on payday. You have to make a painful change as well though. You may have to sacrifice some things to get that initial $1,000. This could mean no eating out or temporarily cutting out an expensive hobby. You also might want to try changing your phone company or downgrading your cable package. I hate this next idea but it is for a good cause: Drop your credit card payments below the minimum (JUST FOR NOW). Anyway, you get the idea. Cut some here - cut some there. Now, take all the figures you cut and add them together. This is what you will put in to your savings account until you reach $1,000. See, when the average person feels like they are getting ahead or even staying even, a setback occurs and sends everything spiraling downward. This is the hard part of building wealth and it is just the beginning (the first brick). However, without this extra money in savings you will tread water until you eventually drown, so stop thinking about it and start acting on it today.
