It’s important to have goals. Goals start as dreams or an idea and become a reality when they are written down, developed, and measured. Goals are so important to me that I have a chapter in my book Cash Uncomplicated specifically about goals. In my book, I write about short-term, medium-range, and long-term goals. In today’s post, we’ll focus specifically on long-term financial goals and how to crush those goals.

It’s a great position to be in. All consumer debt has been paid off, or never existed in the first place. You’re doing well in your career, invest 10 percent or more of your income, and have plenty of savings in your emergency fund. You also own your own home and don’t plan on moving anytime soon. You’re at a point where you have a surplus of money coming in every month.
I hear it a lot—investing is risky. Yes, investing definitely is risky. You can lose money investing short-term. It’s agonizing to think that you can work hard at your job, do what you believe is the right thing, and actually lose some of that money if you were to pull it out.
