Path to the Penthouse: Brick 2

Brick #2

DECIDE WHERE YOU WANT TO BE IN 5-10 YEARS, 

AND SET FINANCIAL GOALS TO GET THERE.

I know this sounds obvious and simple. We all say I want a house.

I want a car. I want a big screen TV.

But what actions are you taking to make these dreams come true?

Take our family for example. Our first dream, the house.

We can right down house on our piece of paper then toss it in a draw, but we had to go further than that.

What do we need to do get the house?

Increase our credit rating was crucial. Pay off existing debt.

So, we can get a loan? What's our game plan for paying off that loan?

Put some time and energy into this. Talk and communicate with your spouse and your family. You may even consider making a game plan with a financial adviser.

So, grab your pen and paper and get to work! What are you waiting for? Things won't happen until YOU take action!
