New Smart With Your Money (SWYM) tips intro. I’m going to stop introducing myself in every video. If you watch more than three in a row, it gets redundant. #swymtips #inrto

A7: Visuals are great I like to print up a picture that reminds me of the goals I’m trying to accomplish financial and otherwise. Then put the picture up were I will see it often. or eat least write it on a post it #creditchat

@Experian A8, I have mini goals within all my main goals. At each mini goal I reward myself with something so I can stay motivated.

It also trains my brain to think, "hitting goals = more things I like"

Q7. What tactics, tools, or visuals can help keep you focused on your goals? #CreditChat

@Experian A6. Time to goal completion is the benchmark I like the most. I can count down. Some people like debt-to-income ratio or return on investment. Find what motivates you to keep progressing, especially during discouraging times. #CreditChat

A6: The advantage that financial goals have over other goals is that money is easy to measure. You can always check on balances and compare how close percentage wise you are to your goal compared to the percentage of time you have left. #creditchat

A5: Start with the more financially needed goals for example paying off debt or emergency savings account. If you have to hold off a month or two on saving for the TV or PS5 then so be it. #creditchat

A3: Start by being realistic and setting a positive tone for the process. Create an inspiring environment—light a candle, enjoy a coffee, and focus on your goals. Once you’re clear on your priorities, map out actionable steps to achieve them. #CreditChat

A2. A strong financial goal should be well-defined and quantifiable, ensuring you can track your progress effectively. It should also be realistic and aligned with your personal values and long-term aspirations, keeping you motivated and focused. #CreditChat

@Experian 3. Determining what it is you want to accomplish. Pay off debt? Put more into emergency savings? Build your retirement account? Understand your motivation for the goals. Then develop the plan to take action. #CreditChat

Q4. How can you set a realistic timeline for achieving your financial goals? #CreditChat

[SD Fin. Literacy Ctr @SDFLC]

A4: Enough time is important because if you make the goal too short term and unrealistic you may find it hard to put in the effort to accomplish it. #creditchat

[SD Fin. Literacy Ctr @SDFLC]

A3: First step is deciding what you want to accomplish with your money. This is especially important when your finances are linked to someone else like in couples. You have to work together on turning “my” and “your” goals info “our” goals #creditchat
