Most Americans have no goals at all. That's why so many go deeply in debt buying stupid shit they can't afford, that includes vehicles and education. Pay your house off in 15 years or less, invest at least 15% of your income, pay cash for everything else.

Depends on the age. Where I'm at now, I'm fine with #1 & 2 on that list.

But I'd replace #3 with healthy paycheck/retirement funds and put solid insurance in at #4 crossing out vacation funds which is included in #3

Life is so depressing when you put it this way, tbh:lol

I pay half my rent and 30% of my parent's mortgage, so I guess paying that off and buying a house would be #1..actually, it would be the only thing on my "list":lol

I have a car(bought cash) that I won't be getting rid of for a minute..next car will be paid for in the same way(I'm not a car guy, at all, so never plan on buying anything outlandish)..

Vacations are easy, we go on them whenever, pretty much..my girl recently received a substantial inheritance, so I never have to spend money on her anymore:lol my only major expense ATM is my dog's cancer, costs me about 400-500 a month, everything else gets saved, outside of gambling expenses..should be easy to keep stacking for retirement for another 25 years, barring catastrophe..

student loan has to be in the top 2.

if you're actually worrying about paying off a car, then you're living above your means

Damn..Wish I was with a girl right now. :lol

Finances have been tight since we broke up.

American tuition fees are really mindblowing...I've been in and out of school the last six years opting to work full time for three years and not go to school..

But I don't remeber a year where I didnt pay off my tuition fee of my pocket. 22k Is usually enough to get you a Bachleros in Canada.

Heard stories of 60k school debts..How is that even possible.?

Do you think a Craigslist or SpursTalk ad might be effective?

People choose the wrong schools and/or are lazy. Getting an undergrad is doable without debt. As raider said, when you go to grad school, that's when it gets tough depending on what you're doing.

[Avante]

1. Able to live your last 30 years financially secure.
2. Everything paid off by 60
3. Never got out of shape, so there is never any need to try and get in shape.
4. Own every toy ya ever wanted.

Fair list. It amazes me the way some people spend their money.

I have a mortgage on a new build house (2013) that will be paid off by the time I'm about 45 depending on extra payments, own 2 vehicles (2011, 2016 models), have just finished paying off my student debt 12 months ago, I go on a 6 week international holiday every year and I have friends whom I know earn larger pay packets to myself that are wondering how I can afford holidays and nice houses and so on. I just wonder what the fuck they are spending their money on, tbh. I guess not having children helps.

[MI21]

We have compulsory superannuation of 9.5% in Australia so maybe it's a little out of sight out of mind for me, but I find it surprising people are so very keen on having a lot of money to survive on when they are 65+... how fucking boring, tbh. I would rather holiday now when I'm able to actually enjoy the places I'm visiting rather than sitting on a bus sightseeing somewhere and enjoy hotel breakfasts :lol Obviously you want money to be comfortable, but I imagine when I'm 80 (if I get there) that it won't take a lot of money to sustain my lifestyle...
