Where do you want to live? Maybe you start by visiting a few warmer states to see which ones you like. Plan a vacation! 2. Have you thought about your "own" career? What will it look like? What do you need to do to get started there? Do it! 3. Recording software...perfect. Pick it out, model, company, features. Now you have a goal. Money is just a means. Think of how great it will be to find a warm state, run your "own" career and record music. It's the emotional feeling that will make it happen. Austin:

No more Illinois 7-month winters. I want to be able to go outside every day of the year. This is also one of the things I'm willing to pay for. 2) To allow me to pursue my own career pursuits. I don't want to be stuck in a job which is the reason I'm so anti-debt. I never want to have to do something. 3) To allow me to dive into new hobbies. I was thinking last night that I'd love some nice recording software for recording music on the side. A nice setup is expensive, but I want my money to support my hobbies and their price tag (to a certain extent). I love topics like this so great work. -Austin @ Foreigner's Finances I want my money to:

To say you want to travel is difficult to get excited about. But if you said you want to visit the rainforests of Brasil or the beaches of Barbados or the canals of Venice, then you can begin to be motivated towards something. There is emotions and feelings about laying on white sand beaches. When you say vacation it could mean taking a day off from work. Yes it's a bit relieving but it give you the feelings of relaxing on a a white sand beach in 85 degree weather with a soft breeze through your hair. Listening to the waves crash gently on shore while sipping a frozen rum runner. @FinEngr

What's unique and interesting here is the section with questions and point #3. First, it was "I want $1,000,000". Then the blanket statement was "I want to travel". But not much thought went beyond that. By asking people to look at why they want something after they've already written it down, it forces them to give the idea a true assessment and get to the root. Similar to what was going on over at eliminatethemuda with the 5 Ys. .-= FinEngr´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.engineeryourfinances.com/2010/02/which-way-are-you-outsourcing/" rel="nofollow">Which Way Are You Outsourcing?</a> =-.

To many people focus on the numbers. They think a number will solve and answer everything. It doesn't work that way. People need motivation for success and that starts with a purpose and the desire for an outcome. I think you'll enjoy my next post as well. It's going up tomorrow. Thank you for the comment David.

I haven't seen anyone else bring up this point, and I would much rather be specifically saving for X, Y, and Z rather than just watching my accounts grow. A lot more incentive to save this way.
