Here is another portion from OSU Financial Curriculum Pathways to Success, A Basic Living Skills Curriculum:
Setting Goals: A goal is an aim or it is what we want to do. Goals are plans for the future. Each of us has many things we want to do. Some goals take a short time to get done, maybe less than 6 months. These are called short-term goals. For example, find a job, find a place to live, or buy clothes for work. You may have many short-term goals.
Some goals take longer to get done. You need to put in more time, money and work than for short-term goals. These are called long-term goals because the goal may take 1, 3 or 5 years to reach.
Many people want things NOW and are not willing to wait until later. The use of credit causes many people to buy everything NOW. This attitude can lead to serious money problems. Sometimes two people may have very different values. One person wants many things NOW. The other person may wish to save money for a long-term goal.
Tara Brown, Jefferson County OSU Extension Educator has programs available and is ready to teach Financial Programs which include Setting Goals.
