Create a strategy that is doable with short, intermediate and long-term goals with time horizons that are based in reality.  Make certain that the plan you create can be put into action without causing undue stress on your emotional and financial well-being. Lastly, make room to monitor and track the movement of your plan, leaving time and space to modify the plan as circumstances and conditions change in your life both for you and your family.

A plan that starts out SMART ends with giving you in retirement the lifestyle you desire and deserve.
