The Goal

It is impossible to reach goals that are never set. My life goals tie closely to my priorities which are, in order of importance, my family, my religion and my employment. As I observe those around me I am impressed that those whose priorities are similar to mine seem to be a little happier and go through their day-to-day activities with purpose. Taking a deeper look at these priorities you would see that the first two are full of "expenses" and the last is there out of necessity in order to fund the first two. Another item of note is that I spend a very large portion of my time at work and this takes me away from my home. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy work and appreciate all of the benefits and comfort that come from putting in a full days effort. I would prefer to put these efforts toward something more valuable and that has a longer reaching effect.
In order to make more room in my life for my first two priorities, one of my top goals is to achieve financial prosperity. I define financial prosperity as being completely free from all debt and having enough in reserve to comfortably support my family into perpetuity. As with any goal, in order to achieve it I've got to have a plan. In this blog I'd like to share with you my plan to achieve this goal.
