Everyone needs to have a bucket list – a list comprised of things you want to accomplish in your life before your time is up. By writing down all the things you want to see and do, you are much more likely to achieve some if not all of your goals. Keep your list in a safe place, and every once in a while, glance at it and see how you are doing. This way you won’t lose track and you will be more motivated to continue on towards achieving your goals.
Some items on your bucket such as owning a cabin at the lake or saving for your children’s post secondary education will involve saving a fair amount of money, while some of your other goals may not be related to your finances.
