Lauren,

I still track my spending, it helps me make sure I’m not blowing my budget.

Holly,

yes, making small attainable goals applies to everything. It’s probably better to run a 5K before signing up for a full marathon.

I love setting small attainable goals. We have been debt-free for a long time but those short-term goals still help us save money and make important progress when it comes to our finances.

Yes setting goals is important, you just gotta make them realistic.

If you don’t set goals, how are you supposed to strive for anything in life? Set goals and measure your progress. It will help keep you motivated to achieve them.

Seattlegirluw,

At least you’ve recognized your problems and have found a way to turn it around. Small steps is the way to go and good on your for selling things on Craigslist. I’ve only had one successful sale there so far.

It wastes precious time and energy, and it keeps me from wanting to try again.

So I try to set more reasonable goals by breaking up the bigger ones into smaller steps. Right now, I’m looking for things to sell on Craigslist. So I’m shooting for going through one room at a time. The garage will take longer, but I’m hoping by April to have gone through everything in there. (It’s not super crowded, but my husband has asthma and can’t stay in there for very long.)

Tawcan,

I don’t get the point of people making goals that simply won’t stick. Better to stick to something that you can actually accomplish.
