Читать книгу Personal Finance After 50 For Dummies - Eric Tyson - Страница 29

Most people we know have more than one goal when it comes to their money and personal situations. For example, suppose Ray, age 50, wants to scale back work to a part-time basis and spend more time traveling. He reasons, “I don’t want to wait until my 70s, because what if my health isn’t great or I don’t make it!” But Ray also wants to help his adult children with some of the costs of graduate school and possibly with buying their first homes.

Ray’s situation — of having multiple goals competing for limited dollars — is often the norm. Thus, a theme we discuss throughout this book is how to trade off competing goals, which requires personal considerations and balance in one’s life.

Unless you have really deep pockets and modest goals, you need to prioritize and develop price tags for each of your goals.
