Ramit Sethi explains why "I want to travel more" doesn't work as a goal. You need specifics: a destination, dates, how much it costs, and a named savings plan. Vague intentions fail. Numbers and logistics make it real.
The next mistake is one that kills 90% of good intentions. And you're going to see why. Trap number two, creating goals without logistics. Would you please stop saying phrases like I want to travel more? Yeah, I want to fly by flapping my arms doesn't mean it's going to happen. That gets you nowhere. Instead, I would rather you say Portugal. September 12th through 22nd. $4,800. I'm saving $400 a month in a labeled account. That is going to happen. Saying I want to travel never going to happen.
