Have A Goal 1

I’m Miriam Neff and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan with Wise Women Managing Money.

M One of the greatest motivators, when you have gone through unwanted change that impacts you financially is to have a goal.   This event, even unwanted, is an opportunity to consider what really matters.

V What matters to you?  An immediate goal may be to shrink your expenses to your current income.  No small task, but a necessary beginning.  But be willing to dream.  What are your long-term goals?   legacy? philanthropy?  giving while you’re living?  Having goals beyond today can motivate us to stay in track. 

M Education, travel, family?  Adventure, service, health, it’s a good time to think forward intentionally, not just react in the moment.  That goal keeps us on track.
