Back to the goals discussion. I think in every arena of life we need to have goals. My financial goals are a little bit different than what many financial people might suggest. They may be more based on life experiences that I desire than on an amount of money in the bank.
Over the last year a lot of people who had put their hope in their funds and 401k's have awakened to quite a bit of disappointment. I wonder if we focused more on experiences and storing up memories than storing up funds. Don't get me wrong we should store up funds for a rainy day (the Bible challenges us to that) but it also says, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth..."
We live in a world that is all about accumulating stuff and more stuff and I think maybe we would be better suited if we focused on giving to others and on making memories.

LOVE IT! AMEN!
Joe, I love it!
I was raised that I NEED to make money and save it.
But I've found money in the bank doesn't do much but give me a good feeling and a pat on the back.
Like my grandfather said
"Having stuff is pretty pointless without people to do stuff with."
