Use the acronym SMART to remember these simple goal-setting guidelines. Your goals should be:  ​

• Specific — State one clear outcome and the estimated amount of money needed. ​
• Measurable — Use benchmarks and identify what kind of evidence you’ll have when the goal is attained. ​
• Achievable — Assess your likelihood of reaching the goal by examining your circumstances and resources. ​
• Realistic — Make sure the goal is relevant and meaningful to your values.  ​
• Time-bound — Set target completion dates and milestones throughout to measure progress.
