I have goals now, and sometimes it's a pain sticking to them, but in the long run it is well worth it. Especially when you see the big deposits into your account! Matt I completely agree with you.

Like "I want to be a billionaire by 30" when they're 23, working at McDonalds and have been for 5 years. I think what people need to do is set some higher, longer term goals, and some low, easy, really short term goals. Then a some inbetween. The point of that being, is that you'll have a whole bunch of easy goals, and you'll feel good about reaching them. But reaching them is easy, so you won't feel like your current state isn't good enough. The problem with goals, though, is that people always set them to high.
