What is a goal? A written statement of something a person wants or needs to accomplish. Examples Graduate from high school Earn a college degree Buy a car Get a job Lose 15 pounds

Specific…….. Measurable… Attainable….. Realistic……. Time-Limited.. SMART Goals Specific…….. “Pay for lodging, transportation, meals for a 5-day trip to Washington, D.C.” Measurable… “$300 through fundraising, $50 from birthday money, save $25 a week.” Attainable….. “If I stick to my plan, I’ll have the money when I need it.” Realistic……. “I still have enough money to live on while I work toward this goal.” Time-Limited.. “I need to have all the money by 6 months from now.” Source: NEFE PowerPoint available online

Time-bound Goals Short Term Goals Long Term Goals Present to 6 months Long Term Goals 6 month and longer THIS WILL VARY AMONG RESOURCES

Trip for 2 to Australia in 5 years for $5,000. Goal Setting Activity Save $1,000 a year for 5 years (This couple has already saved $1,000 for their Australian trip and receive a $300 check each year from their co-op). They may revise their goal to say … Need to save $4,000 minus $1,500 co-op distribution check, or $2,500. $2,500 divided by 60 months = $41.66 per month see notes view Trip for 2 to Australia in 5 years for $5,000. To complete this activity, student will each need 4-6 index cards. Start by writing your dreams on the cards. Your dreams aren’t just dreams anymore, they have now become your goals. Don’t leave anything out. Make your dreams specific, put down a year and if there is a financial cost, estimate what it will be. Examples might be: Retirement home in Arizona 2030 $45,000, Graduate school 2015 $20,000, Trip to Australia for two 2013 $5,000. Now sort your cards into two stacks: goals you want to accomplish in the next five years or less, and goals that will take longer than five years. You will see later why it is important to separate long and short-term goals. The important thing is that you save for them differently. Now sort your cards in each stack in order of priority. ON the back of each card, write what you would need to do to make that dream a reality. Also write down money you have saved already for that goal (if any) and other expected sources of money that may help you achieve your goal. For example, if one dream is a trip to Australia for two in five years at an approximate cost of $5,000, you might wirte, “Save $1,000 a year for 5 years.” In this example the couple has already saved $1,000 for their Australian trip, and receive a $300 check each year from their co-op, they may revise their goal to say “$4,000 for a trip to Australia, need to save $4,000 minus $1,500 co-op distribution check or $2,500. Now decide how much money you would need to save each month to achieve that goal, by first turning the number of years you have to reach your goal into months, and then dividing the dollar amount of your goal by that number. In the Australian trip example, the couple would have five years or 60 months to achieve their goal of saving $2,500. Sixty (months) goes into 2,500 (dollars) 41.66 times. That means this couple needs to save $41.66 each month for five years to reach their goal. Doesn’t $41.66 a month sounds a lot more manageable than the original goal of $5,000? Once you have determined the dollar amount per month, you may discover you do not have enough cash flow to reach all your goals. That is where your order of priority comes in. What are you willing to give up so that you will have the resources necessary to reach this goal? How hard are you willing to work and save to achieve a particular goal? Are you willing to take on a second job? How realistic is each goal when compared with others? You may need to reorganize your goals. Put those that are now unrealistic back on your wish list. If circumstances change, you may still be able to realize those dreams, too! The dreaming and goal-setting process becomes a little more difficult when you are part of a family. Every one should have their own dreams and goals, but as members of a family, it is important to consider and respect each other’s goals.

Activity Create a collage of your financial goals for the future. Use pictures from magazines, clipart from the computer, or your own artwork. The finished collages will be displayed in our classroom.

Writing Prompt Write a paragraph identifying one of your long or short-term goals. Explain how it reflects your needs, wants, values, and priorities. Write an action plan to achieve the goal, including tasks, timelines, resources needed, and barriers anticipated.
