I’ve never seen anyone any success without first mapping out a course of action. First they find a target, such as getting into a successful career in “X”. Once they decide on a career, then they plan on how to get there, such as the college they need to go to, and break it down further, such as how to finance pursuing that career. Once people graduate and settle down, it seems that the idea of formally planning in your life falls apart. Having a financial mission statement can help you continue on a path in your life to achieve bigger goals, and maximize your happiness in life.
