Many people think of money as linear—it comes in, it goes out. It's associated with immediate need or gratification. Sometimes you save a little. In fact, money is multi-dimensional. It can do more than one task at a time—like create future savings...
One of the most common reasons you save money is to achieve goals — some you'd like to accomplish in the short term, like in the next year or two, or maybe even five. Some you'd like to accomplish in the long term, in the next ten years or even longer
