Thank you for this contest. My money goals are really important to me. I had a surprise debt to the IRS 3 years after I moved to Florida in 2015 it was $3000. Took a huge chunk away from me. With my refund this year I'm finally going to receive $78 !! I actually paid off the IRS yay me... As of now I am homeless with 2 part-time jobs here in Florida, #1 goal is to get my own place on my own. My 23 year old daughter just told me she's getting married. She lives in Chicago, #2 goal is to have $9000 by 2023 saved for her wedding. I have a bunch of short term money goals as well. Baby steps. Thank you kindly. Jessica

My money goals in 2022 are to start being more responsible with my money and saving. In November of 2021 I was told I needed to have cardio thoracic surgery to remove a tumor in my lungs that was pushing against my heart and causing issues so I was out of work and I just finally was given the okay to return so my goal even more is to not only save but catch up on all my bills. As much as I would love to travel I’d also love to be able to get my own place and be debt free.

DW2073 · ‎February 3, 2022

My goal for 2022 is to increase my savings.

c-powell08 · ‎February 3, 2022

My goal is to pay off my credit card debt. It's not much but I was really careless with my spending in the last few months of 2021 and now it's racked up higher than it's ever been. Super random but, I want/need to pay it off because I am going to be enlisting in the Air Force and have to have all of my financials in order so that I am not getting charged any interest while at BMT. I also want to focus on only using my credit card for purchases where I'll earn the 5% cash back that the card has, and use my normal debit card for purchases that would only be 1% cash back because it doesn't make much of a difference.

DeeJuice93 · ‎February 3, 2022

Well let me start by wishing everyone a happy new years!!! 🥳 My resolutions list for this year is a lot longer than I'd imagine it would be...My goals for 2022 includes the following;

1- Going back to school for my HSDS following up with college.. I'm thinking of attending Alverno College in Wisconsin

2- Increase my income by times three, working as a home caregiver, I've been getting paid really great for being a Frontline worker. Not to mention I plan on picking up a Work From Home job position as soon I get done with school

3- Get my children back into my life someway/somehow.. Unfortunately I lost my two kids in the system last year, they were separated from each other, and the individuals who decided to claim custody of them has been purposely keeping me away from them in fear of me filing them on my 2021 tax return. Technically they're not supposed to file either, I just want to be apart of them anyway I can possibly be, so paying these people just to see them is worth it. But I will be going downtown to get visitation rights hopefully.

4- Stay away from negative energy vampires, Leave the fake love with them and move on, Understand my worth, how much I can actually bring into this world, and practice way more self-love than usual.

5- Last but definitely not the least... Show my haters and my fans that I am capable of doing the absolute impossible.. but I'm choosing to do whatever is important first.

Sorry if I made a long paragraph...🤗🤩💗🥳☺️

This is a wonderful product that helped me find the maximum return amount for me and my family.

ralph fairbanks · ‎February 3, 2022

My goal this year is to save enough money to take my girls on a cruise and also pay off all my credit cards.

MarciaMickle · ‎February 4, 2022

My goal is to get my kids through college without incurring any debt.

Erinology · ‎February 4, 2022

We have had many struggles financially not just because of COVID but many unfortunate events almost cost is our home. We have 3 wonderful children who have no idea what mom and dad do to provide. After both of us finding ourselves unemployed due and with out childcare in 2020, we vowed 2021 would be better. It was but it came with a lot of work and no fun. The kid's have had their normal turned upside down with the back and forth of e learning/COVID restrictions etc. I would use the $100 to do something fun for our kids.... Whatever they picked. 🥰

My 2022 goals are to stick to our budget the best we can. I have started an emergency account (lesson learned from not having in 2020), also investing in my IRA more than the minimum. I am working closely with our teenager to teach her responsibility with money as well of the value of working for the things you want and the difference in want and need. I have started investing for the kids in my Acorns acct. I have to say overall that one of my biggest financial goals for 2022 is to not allow financial matters steal our joy.

lbrown1786 · ‎February 4, 2022

My goal is to save as much each month as possible. I'd like to stick to my budget and only buy things that I really need, reduce ordering food, and save for a house.

ryhno69 · ‎February 5, 2022

My goals are gunna get better cuz this economy and this government that's corrupting and controlling the human race one step at a time.. Besides that getting a real home and staying above 0.

thud2010 · ‎February 5, 2022

Hello Everyone!

My money goals for this year included, for one, just setting some goals! This would require us to do better with making a budget and sticking to it every month. So this post is helping in more ways than one! Once we do that, I would like to:

1. Put money towards some repairs on our new home like new windows so we can control the climate inside our home during the extreme weather.

2. Put some money to the side for our 10th-grade son with ADHD, who has been struggling in school for the past few years but wants to attend college.

3. Purchase a new car, because we have two old vans that are sucking us bone dry in repairs, and as educators in a different county, then we live, it's important for us to have reliable transportation.

4. Be able to fund me and my Husband to obtain our Master's Degrees (his in Physical Health and Education) and (mine in Social Work)

By setting money goals, it is my hope that we will also be able to give more to others in need!

John544 · ‎February 5, 2022

Covid free vacations😎

shellaboo86 · ‎February 5, 2022

I plan to fix up my home and car and save the rest til I graduate and invest in becoming a business owner!

TheRealTax2 · ‎February 5, 2022

My money goal for this year is to invest the tax refund in an S&P 500 ETF and grow that investment over the coming years to use for early retirement. Been trying to beat the S & P 500 for many years, and while we did do it in a few years, we were often bested. If you can't beat em, join em.

Mkwmds68 · ‎February 5, 2022

Thank you so much for this opportunity. My money goals are helping for the expense of my father's headstone. It had been a very, very rough 6 months. We lost our Dad in June then lost our 3 month old great nephew in Nov. He was born with CHF. Then 2 days after Thanksgiving, I was pushed off a high porch and it busted my head open and had to have stitches. On December 10 had to be rushed back to the hospital as it started bleeding and wouldn't stop. Turned out I had a massive hematoma and my skin was becoming necrotic. So horrible. So now I have lost my job of 5 years. So this can help with many goals. Sorry for all the bad things. I am still here and strong as ever as my faith never falters and things like these just make me a stronger person. Thanks

LeeLee21 · ‎February 5, 2022

My goals for 2021 are to start a college fund for our grandson and to cut all unnecessary expenses to prepare for retirement in the next 3-4 years.

skorupar · ‎February 5, 2022

The pandemic has allowed me time to learn how to invest in myself, as selfish as it sounds. Being a decade behind the average first-time buyer age in our state, I can finally say that my husband and I are comfortable entering the housing market. I wouldn't be where I am at without setting small, attainable goals and will continue to do so. It has taken a lot of sacrifice, time, and effort; especially with the juggle of saving for a down payment on a home and paying towards student loans. Any extra money coming in will be used towards the aforementioned.

Lesspears · ‎February 5, 2022

My money goals this year have me very excited. I am going to purchase a home this year and finally have plenty of time to spend with my kids in our very own home. I have a 9 year old son and over 2 years ago a beautiful little blond girl came into my life and was supposed to be for one night but here we are. She had been in situations in her short little life that no one should ever have to and endured so much pain and abuse almost took her life. Although it was a hard time in my life god sent this little angel to me and I plan to forever keep the promise I made her that no one will ever hurt her again and that I’ll never leave her. We are not blood related however she is 100% my daughter and After a long battle in court to keep her with me and away from all the bad things and people she had came from , it’s time now I keep keep the promises I made and save money to legally adopt her and be her mommy forever

danc081990 · ‎February 5, 2022

Hi everyone, my name is Daniel clearly and my money goals are quite simple I suppose. I, myself, do not wish to be rich nor have the best money can buy. Instead, I would rather have the things I need like enough to pay my bill, help to send my kids to college, gas to get them to school and back, get myself to work and back, provide what we need in order to have a "comfortable" lifestyle. I don't want to become so consumed by my desire for financial gain that I lose those things that make my life worth living. I have seen the destruction brought upon by financial lust and the constant want for more and more. The lose of sleep, the lose of time to be a father or a husband, brother, a friend. So, with that being said, my goal is to be satisfied with the blessings I have every day when I wake up to the smiling faces of my family, knowing in my heart that while we may not be rich we have what we need, Eachother!

McBreen17 · ‎February 6, 2022

rs56369 · ‎February 8, 2022

My money goal for 2022 is to save enough cash to afford to take my wife on a belated honeymoon to Europe! We married last year in a very small COVID-safe ceremoney at the local courthouse as we couldnt afford to spend a lot of money on a traditional wedding. I hope we can celebrate our 1 year anniversary while also honeymooning to make the trip extra special. We have planned to spend $5000 on air fare and lodgings and want to have another $2000 in spending money. So far we have saved $3800 so we're just over halfway to our goal of $7000!!

jlayman800 · ‎February 9, 2022

I've been using Mint to track my investments, spending, and net worth for several years. Last year I retired so income has changed substantially. Now, we have changed focus and the new spending charts are really helping.

My goals for this year are to focus on spending and track investments closely to maximize net worth. While the stock market hasn't helped, I'm glad to have Mint to help me keep track of every dollar.

Turbo Tax again in 2023

pcvxxvii27 · ‎February 10, 2022

With the pandemic, and a change in careers, my 2022 financial goals look a lot different than they may have a couple years ago. I'm currently in between careers, working as an Uber Eats delivery driver, and this is my first year filing taxes as a "self-employed" contractor. Although Turbo Tax makes doing taxes easy for me, I've learned I need to track my business expenses like gas and other vehicle expenses. I also want to start putting aside a third of my income to save for tax time. This will help set me up for success as a future real estate agent next year when I do my taxes!

After looking through my bank statements for tax purposes, I also want to start spending my money more intentionally. I want to allocate portions of my spendings towards different goals: savings, self-care, entertainment, and reoccurring bills. If i do this, and stick to it, I'll be in a much better position next year, and have built more confidence by sticking to my plan! Thanks for considering me. My main intention for entering this was because I heard somewhere that if you write down your goals, the chances of your actually achieving them increases by a lot!
