Ray Brandon, CEO of Brandon Financial Planning, and his wife, Dana, a licensed clinical social worker, can be reached at brandonplanning.com.

Ray’s Take: Everyone loves to set big goals. I’m going to lose 30 pounds and get in shape in a month. I’m going to travel around the world. I’m going to retire at 50. And the list could go on and on. While goal setting is important and helps shape our dreams, goals like these are virtually unattainable and when they aren’t met can leave us feeling like a failure.
