Financial Planning & Goals
📋 What it is
A savings goal plus a timeline tells you how much to save each period.
🗣️ Coach says
Planning turns a wish into a number. Want $120 in 6 months? That's $20 a month. Dividing the goal by the time gives a clear, doable target — and makes big goals feel possible.
🧠 Memory hook
Goal ÷ time = how much to save each period. $120 in 6 months = $20/month.
