Your Investment Goals

Goals are specific things (e.g., buy a car, put a new roof on the house) that people want to do with their money. As people move through various life stages, their needs and financial goals change. Your selection of investments should relate closely to your financial goals. Each goal will define the amount and liquidity of the money needed as well as the number of years available for the investment to grow.
