Lesson 4 of 4 · 3 min read
Goal-oriented investing
Every goal deserves its own strategy.
Match horizon and risk
Money for 2 years from now (a car)? Safe, few stocks. Retirement 30 years away? Go all-in on stocks, the swings don't matter.
Write down your goals
Making them concrete (amount + date) helps you choose the right mix and stick to your plan when the market moves.
Remember this
- Every goal deserves its own horizon and risk level.
- Short term (2 years): safe. Far off (30-year retirement): all-in on stocks.
- Make goals concrete (amount + date) to choose the right mix.
- Clear goals help you stick to your plan when the market moves.
