all well and good if life is going your way. you can do all the goal setting you want and have the desire to excute it, but next step after the plan is spending the money to make it happen. So set up a monitary spending chaart and see what you got to get going in the direction of your goals. but if those who don't wish for your success are ther in your way nothing will ever happen in you future. If life doesn't want you to achieve your goals then you will never get there. it is not up to you. it up to those who hold the keys to the future.

I rarely participate in these comments, but I really have to share my story with 1 company which has tremendously helped me. I just turned 74, many obstacles have come in the way of my retirement including a divorce a few years ago which really hurt me financially, to be honest I had this feeling that my savings and SS income were not going to be enough. Months and months of research and dealing with big banks - nothing but a big headache and they wanted to charge an arm and leg - I was considering a standard home equity loan but then I started reading about reverse mortgages. Long story short, i found this company while searching online - reverse mortgage lenders direct - they were able to automatically compare lenders for me and quote me a fantastic quote. I am not saying you need to do a reverse mortgage (for me this has been excellent and recommendable) but if you do here is their number 877 700 0534 - you can find the site online search for reverse mortgage lenders direct.

Yes, sign up for mint.com and set up goals in their goal section. Then link those goals a savings account(s) that you opened with an online bank (ex: Ally, ING, HSBC, etc) and track them.

Don't set up an amount that's too big and you can tweak the goal as you get closer to achieving it. I would also only focus on 1-3 goals at once.

That with the advice here and next thing you know you will have accomplished a lot!
