The Importance of Long-Term Financial Goals

Financial planning is not just about managing day-to-day expenses-it also requires preparing for large, long-term financial goals. These often include saving for postsecondary education, buying a home, and planning for retirement. Because these goals typically require significant amounts of money, individuals and households must plan carefully to ensure they can meet them without creating financial hardship.
