Short-Term Goals Strategy:
Debt Repayment:
o Use the debt avalanche method, which involves paying off the
highest-interest debt first (credit cards).
Emergency Fund:
o Set up automatic transfers to a high-yield savings account. Aim for
saving 1.000.000 each month until the emergency fund reaches
24.000.000 in 24 months.
Mid-Term Goals Strategy:
House Down Payment:
o Open a separate savings account specifically for the house down
payment.
o Set a goal to save 2.000.000/month toward this account for the next 4
years.
o Research down payment assistance programs and ensure I’m saving
enough for the required amount (typically 20%).
Retirement Contributions:
o Contribute 10% of my salary to my 401k each year, ensuring I take
advantage of employer matches.
Long-Term Goals Strategy:
Investing:
o Reinvest dividends and returns into additional investments to
compound growth.
Student Loan Repayment:
o Set a goal to pay off the student loan by aggressively paying down the
principal over 3 years.
o Refinance the loan for a lower interest rate if possible.
Financial Independence:
o Gradually shift more towards passive income investments, like
dividend stocks, rental income, or business ventures.
o Focus on maximizing savings and reducing expenses to increase the
savings rate.
4. Monitoring Progress

staying within budget and meeting my savings goals.
Quarterly Investment Checkups: Assess the performance of my
investments and make adjustments as necessary.
Annual Net Worth Update: Review assets and liabilities to track overall
financial health.
