How To Setting Financial Goals For Yourself!
Femina
|December 2021
Wondering about setting financial goals for yourself? Here’s what Hena Mehta, Co-Founder & CEO of Basis has to say on how to do it in the best way
A goal without a plan is just a wish. This holds true for financial goals as well. Setting financial goals, and creating investments to optimise chances of hitting them, is a great way to manage both short and long-term objectives. Never created a financial goal before? Here are the basics.
A financial goal has three parts: duration, purpose, and amount. So, “I want to buy a car” or “I want to pursue higher education in 3 years” are not financial goals.

"UGH, I HATE HOW I LOOK!"
If the title to this feature is a sentence that goes off in your head every time you stand in front of the mirror, you need to keep reading. No, this is not your run-of-the-mill self-love spiel that will magically change your self-image by the end. It won't. And it definitely won't silence the voices that have told you to fix, hide, and erase parts of you deemed “too much” or “not enough”. What it will do is offer something rare: a reason, however small, to stop waging war with your reflection, and feel a little better about coming home to the person who's been there all along. You.
