Notes: You can have multiple goals. It just means you will have multiple plans of action. Most do. If you have a full-service stock broker, they can assist you with coming up with a concrete plan for each goal. Or if you're a do-it-yourselfer, just keep track of how much in what accounts belong to which goals.
Common goals include retiring as a multi-millionaire, saving for college, saving for a luxurious vacation, buying a luxury vehicle, etc. All those are attainable, and each will require plans of action.
