The new year has just started, and you are probably back to your daily grind. 

Many of you would have completed goal setting for 2025. 

✅ Some of you have set your 2025 goals
🤔 Some are still thinking about them
❌ And some just don’t see the point of setting any at all

But what if I told you…

🎯 There’s one kind of goal-setting that can change your entire financial future?

💡 Welcome to Day 4 – The GPS for Your Money

Just like a GPS helps you navigate from where you are to where you want to go — we’re going to chart your financial journey.

📍 Step 1: Know your current location — we did this in Days 1 & 2
📍 Step 2: Now it’s time to define your destination — your ideal future

That’s what today is all about.

 

🗺️ Visualize Your Ideal Future

Most people limit their goals to what seems realistic today.
But true growth comes when you dream beyond your current situation.

🔥 Don’t ask: “What can I afford to do now?”
Ask: “What kind of life do I want 10, 15, or 20 years from now?”

Steve Jobs was a big fan of this idea. He always planned based on where he wanted Apple to be in the future, instead of planning based on where it was then

📄 Use the 'Defining My Ideal Retirement' Template

To make it easier, I’ve created a simple template to help you map:

🔹 Where do you want to retire/live?
🔹 When do you want to reach financial independence?
🔹 How do you want your lifestyle to look like?
🔹 What other milestones do you want to achieve before that?

📥 Click here to download the “Defining My Ideal Retirement” template.
Fill it in — no pressure, no limits, just possibilities.

Remember: Today is about what you want, not how you’ll get there.
The “how” will come later in this challenge.
