I didn't think about these things for a long time. I wish I had sooner - it's much easier to make a big impact financially by starting just a few years sooner. I'm glad you liked it.

Having a goal of being a millionaire isn't much good on it's own, right?

I just set my goals recently, but better late than never, right? I feel like I've finally seen the light and am on the right path.

I'm trying to make my money work for me…better to work smarter rather than harder, right? Also, if you have money, every market downturn is an opportunity waiting to happen.

Personally, I don't set goals, I make plans. Semantics perhaps, but it's what works for me. Something every young adult needs to do is figure out where their going and how to get there. So many people just go wherever they end up instead of where they want to be. This was a nice change from the usual “for 20-somethings” post. Personally, I don't set goals, I make plans.
