Personal Finance Online: Goal Setting In School

                                           Personal Finance Online was not possible
                                           when I was at School in Belfast, Ireland -
                                           mainly because there was no real internet
                                           either used or taught. I donʼt even think I was
                                           taught about goal setting in school either, not
                                           directly at least - I mean, no-one sat me down
                                           and showed me a goal setting template or
                                           explained the details behind goal setting
                                           motivation theory or anything like that.

                                             In fact, my teachers never taught me about
                                             personal finance, online or otherwise, but the
indirect lessons I learned about goal setting in school from the complex rules of the
playground, sport and even chasing girls, actually left me well placed to set goals and
create my own goal setting worksheet, albeit not actually inside a real goal setting
worksheet at all. After all, it became second nature to choose what I wanted to achieve,
and stubbornly do anything to get it - exams, trophies, even friends with cars.

I never was an Educator, but I hold them in very high regard - they have such a lot of
responsibility to shape the minds of our children. Belfast where I grew up,
had teachers, professors and kindergarden nurseries just like any other place, each with
their own view of personal finance and never shared with students or even each other.
Educators today have so much more opportunity to shape the health of this nation
because they can use tools to teach personal finance online

How I Learned Goal Setting In School

From an early age, life was not easy in Belfast There was no such thing as a free lunch,
and if a kid wanted to have ʻstuffʼ then that kid had to go to the bank of Mom and Dad, go
without, or get a job. I took a job as a paperboy.

Iʼd set times for the round, and race myself against the
clock, lost in imagination. Iʼd see how many smiling visits
it took to secure tips at Christmas, and I made sure all my
customers knew about my birthday, well in advance. In
School, I knew the bus timetable and the exact time it
took to the stop from every single exit from the school so
I could time my journey. I was a fiercely competitive
sports wannabe in Athletics, so became used to goal
setting in school for weight, speed, time, strength and
timetables - everything was measured, everything
focused on goal setting and goal achievement.

What Has Goal Setting In School Got To Do With Personal Finance Online?

At first glance, nothing really links these things together, but actually, now that it is possible
to do personal finance online, then schools should be taking the lead in educating the kids
all about it. They should be teaching Financial Goal Setting In School right alongside all
the other goal setting methodologies

As a kid, goal setting is all about getting what you want , striving for something desired and
the recognition that comes with getting it, achievement of goals. As an adult, these same
emotional and psychological drivers can be used in improving this countryʼs personal
finance - online. It is cheaper, easier, consistent and instant.

The list of critical items which are easily done with any personal finance online package or
software come down the following

                                                 • How To Budget
                                                 • How To Save
                                                 • Goal Setting
                                                 • Forecasting
                                                 • The Relativity of Goals in Goal Setting
                                                 • The Value of Earnings
Personal finance online is so much better than a goal setting worksheet because the
templates, the shape and direction of the calculations are prearranged and thought
through by professional designers and educators. All that remains for the kid, the adult or
the user, is to make choices in the face of limited resources and the value of something not
chosen.

I wish Iʼd learned these skills and had incorporated       www.themoneytracker.info
money management into my goal setting in school -
Iʼm convinced Iʼd be a wiser, richer and happier man
today, but itʼs not all bad. I now teach all my children   ✔Peace of Mind with Secure Online
about money, about personal finance and about goal          Access which means you donʼt need
setting, and I use personal finance online tools to do      to ever worry about software
it.                                                        upgrades, virus protection or backing
                                                           up your data - it is all done
                                                           automatically
