Your goal could be a vacation, new big TV, pay off or buy a car, or some new expensive item. Having a purpose as to why you invest will help you stay focused. I have found without the end goal I start to lose interest in my portfolio. I would recommend leaving “filthy rich”* off the list, it’s too generic. Make your goal specific and give yourself a reasonable deadline. This tip works best for short term investing, for long term investing make your goal a specific number.

My goal is to pay off my family’s van with my short term stock portfolio.

* I have met a rich person and I have met a filthy person, but I have yet to meet a filthy rich person.
