Does the idea of making a list of financial goals cause you to freeze like a deer in the headlights? Maybe you\u2019re afraid there will be more details than you have information about. Or that the process of aligning your finances with your future will be too time-consuming. It doesn\u2019t have to be that way. For most of us, the process can be boiled down to just nine basic questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Where does my money go on a daily, weekly and monthly basis?<\/li>\n
  2. What\u2019s my spending plan?<\/li>\n
  3. How can I ensure my daily spending habits don\u2019t undermine my goals?<\/li>\n
  4. How can I shop and spend smarter to \u201cfind\u201d money without making more?<\/li>\n
  5. What\u2019s my current debt ratio and how can I reduce it?<\/li>\n
  6. Do I pay myself first to save money and start a strong retirement income planning program?<\/li>\n
  7. How do I track my goals and celebrate financial milestones?<\/li>\n
  8. Where can\/should I invest money to reach my financial goals?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
