What factors influence financial goals?
Many things influence what you consider important in life. And what you think is important will influence your financial goals:
• Your age
• Advertising and TV commercials
• Family
• Friends
• Your values
Your values are personal beliefs about things that are important to you. Every person has different values. What's important to you may not be important to a close friend or family member. This is OK! When you set your goals, make them your own—base them on what you think is best for your life, not what somebody else thinks is important.
