MAKE THE GOAL SMART.SMART GoalsOne way to make goals simple and clear is to make them SMART. SMART stands for:Specific—focusedMeasurable—you can tell if it’s been achievedAchievable—realisticResults-oriented—written about the end you are trying to get toTimebound—there is a specific time by which the goal will be reachedWhile goals are SMART, they do NOT show how the goal will be reached. The
“how” is the plan. Goals provide the destination and the direction for your plans. So, you can’t make a plan without a goal. This applies to how you get and use your money, too.
A budget is just a plan for how you use your money. You can’t make a budget without having goals.

MAKING YOUR GOALS WORK FOR YOUHere are the steps to figuring out the resources, time and costs to reach your goals:Step 1: Write goals. You’ve already done this!Step 2: List all of the resources you need to reach this goal.Step 3: If money is needed, estimate the amount you will need to
reach the goal. If you don’t know the amount, do some research.
Step 4: Figure out how many months you have to save. Count the months from now until the end time written in your goal statement.
Step 5: Divide the money needed to reach goal by the months to save. This gives the amount you need to save each month. This is what you will include in your budget!
