Setting Goals
How to set and track financial goals
Goals help you stay focused and motivated on your wealth-building journey.
Creating Your First Goal
- Click Set Goal on your dashboard or go to the Goals page
- Enter your target amount (e.g., $100,000)
- Optionally set a target date
- Add a name for your goal (e.g., "First 100K", "House Down Payment")
- Click Save
Goal Progress Tracking
Once set, your goal appears on the dashboard showing:
- Progress bar with percentage complete
- Current value vs target
- Remaining amount needed
- Projected completion based on recent growth (if target date set)
Multiple Goals
You can create multiple goals for different milestones:
- Short-term: Emergency fund, vacation savings
- Medium-term: House down payment, car purchase
- Long-term: Retirement, financial independence
Tips for Effective Goals
Be Specific
Instead of "save more money," set a specific target like "$50,000 emergency fund."
Make it Measurable
Use concrete numbers you can track.
Set Realistic Timeframes
Consider your income, expenses, and expected investment returns.
Review Regularly
Check your progress monthly and adjust if needed.
Editing Goals
To update a goal:
- Go to the Goals page
