Question: Craft a two to four page essay on your short-term, intermediate-term and long-term financial goals. Do not turn in the outline just the essay. The intention of this assignment is for you to take what you have learned in this class and apply it to your personal financial life. Committing a goal to paper helps make it real, not just a wish or dream. Goals create a vision of what you want your future to look like. Your short-term goals may feed into your intermediate-term goals, etc. This assignment is for you and your future.
Your grade will be based on putting the goals together, not on what you choose as a goal. Each goal should include details as to HOW your are going to complete it, by when, how you will measure if you have completed it, etc. Keep your goals SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time bound).
