SMARTER Financial Goals

SMARTER?Financial Goals

There is always a smarter way of doing things

You can set SMART financial goals by building your goals around the five elements of a SMART goal:

  • Set a SPECIFIC?financial goal e.g for the next?6 months I want to clear my Credit card debit or I want to save and invest my emergency funds in TFSA
  • Find ways to MEASURE your progress.
  • Check your progress every month e.g?automatically transfer $100 from each biweekly paycheck into retirement Savings plan
  • Make your goal ACHIEVABLE.

In the case of investing for retirement, one of the best ways to make your investing goal achievable is to set up automatic contributions. When you automatically “pay yourself first” by funneling money into your retirement account, you'll avoid the temptation to spend the money elsewhere.

  • Scale your goal to be REALISTIC
  • Set and stick to a TIMELINE.

SMART + ER (Evaluating and Re-adjusting) = SMARTER


Change is a constant thing, so Evaluating and Re-adjusting your financial goals is very important.

Having?a Financial Advisor review your Policy at least every year using Financial needs Analysis is important
