It is important to re-evaluate financial goals periodically. In which of the following situations would it be necessary to change an existing financial goal?

If you have fallen sharply behind your expected savings schedule, the existing goal may no longer be realistic as planned, so you need to reassess it—such as changing the timeline or the amount you save. Recovering from an expense, marrying someone with a similar goal, or receiving extra income may prompt a review, but none necessarily requires changing the goal.
