Your fresh start - desktop

The start of a new year is an excellent time to set goals for yourself, whether it's to:

No matter what goal you've set, make sure it's SMART:

 

Specific

  • What is your goal? How much will it cost? When do you want to achieve it?
 

Measurable

  • How much do you need to save, and how much will you save each month? 
 

Achievable

  • Will you be able to afford the amount you plan to save each month consistently?
 

Relevant

  • Is this goal going to contribute to your bigger dreams?
 

Timely

  • What are your goal's start and end dates?
 

Let's say you're planning to save for a holiday. Take the time to write it down. For example: "I'm going to save R3 300 towards a beach holiday by the end of this year. To do this, I will save R300 per month for the next 11 months."
