My 5-Year Plan

Posted by on Oct 11, 2010 in Blog, personal finance | 15 comments

After reading Psych Yourself Rich by Farnoosh Torabi, I realized that I’ve gotten my finances under control through budgeting and have created some goals for the immediate future. However, what I haven’t done and need to do, is set slightly longer-term goals. Torabi’s advice is to create a 5-year plan; a plan that is not too far in the future where the goals becomes more similar to hopes and dreams, yet not too short term either.
