How to Set Money Goals You Can Actually Achieve
Ever told yourself, “I’ll save this year!” … and then totally forgot about it? You’re not alone! Setting money goals feels easy, but sticking with them is hard—unless you have a simple system.
Let’s learn a quick, practical way to reach your financial dreams—no jargon, just clear steps you can try starting today.
Step 1: Pick Only ONE Specific Goal
Don’t try to do everything at once. Choose just one goal that really matters to you.
Example:
“I want to save ₹30,000 to buy a new phone by next Diwali.”
Step 2: Break It Down into Simple Pieces
Big goals feel less scary when you split them up!
If you have 12 months until Diwali, here’s the math:
₹30,000 ÷ 12 months = ₹2,500 each month
Now, your big goal is simply, “Save ₹2,500 every month.”
Step 3: Watch Your Progress—And Reward Yourself
Track your savings every month.
Try putting a sticker on your calendar or a progress bar on your phone. Even a simple notebook works!
Example:
Each month you hit your ₹2,500 target, give yourself a gold star. At the halfway point, maybe buy yourself a tiny treat—just not too much to slow your goal!
Why This Works
· Small wins keep you motivated.
· Focus makes it easier to start.
· Celebrating progress makes saving fun, not a chore.
Quick Recap: Your Money Goal Plan
1. Pick one specific goal (“Save ₹30,000 for a phone”)
2. Divide it by months (₹2,500/month for 12 months)
3. Track & celebrate every little milestone
