Money Map: Know the Destination | DIY Money Video

🗺️ In this episode of the DIY Money “Money Map” series, we dive into the critical first step on your financial journey: knowing where you're going. 🛣️

🎯 Whether you're just starting out or already building wealth, clear goals are non-negotiable.

🪜 Inspired by the DIY Money steps and the timeless SMART goal framework, Quint and Allie break down how to identify, define, and stay focused on what matters most in your financial plan.

Highlights include:

🎯 Why goal setting is more important than any budgeting app
🧮 How to calculate your timeline for emergency savings
✍️ The power of writing your goals down (yes, on an index card)
💭 Why vague dreams like “retire someday” won’t cut it
🧠 What “SMART” goals actually mean — and how to apply them

From tracking expenses to saving for a down payment, this episode lays the mental foundation every wealth-builder needs.

And remember, the secret to wealth is pretty simple: live on less than you make, invest the rest, and do so for a very long time. Make it a great one!
