TO BEGINClick on ADD GOAL Enter a financial goal by clicking on the ICON that represents it. FIG.1: Selected Goal Editing Fields Tell us how much money you'll need to achieve your goal, when you want to reach it, how much you can save and how much you already have saved. Then click the ACCEPT button to put the goal on playing field. To add another goal, simply click the ADD GOAL button on the Clock. You can have a maximum of six goals. TO START PLAY Click the PLAY button (flashing green arrow) on the Clock to begin. As the Clock runs, the icon will fill up as your savings reach your target. 
At any time you can stop the clock (click the red PAUSE button), rewind or fast forward the clock (the << and >> buttons), or manually adjust the current year (using the clock SLIDER control).When you add a new goal during play, the clock automatically resets to the current year. Change information about a goal at any time by clicking on the specific goal icon. Click on the field you want to change and enter the new value. Click ACCEPT to save changes or CANCEL to retain original values. To delete a goal, click on its icon and click the DELETE button in the goal details window. When you reach a goal icon, a pop up will indicate if you've saved enough. If you have, you can allocate future savings toward one or more of your other goals by clicking REALLOCATE. If you've saved either too much or too little, click SOLVE and we'll tell you the correct amount to save each month. Click PLAY to continue. Note that solving will eliminate any reallocation you have made to that goal. At any time, you can roll your mouse over a goal icon to find out more about the savings status of that goal. Or see how your monthly savings add up on the annual contributions CHART at the bottom of the board. (Click the title bar of the Chart to open the window. Roll over the appropriate colored bars to see year-by-year details.) You may adjust the savings or time frames for any of your goals by clicking the EDIT button or on the specific goal icon to open the goal details window. REWIND the clock to replay the game. When you finish, click print for a summary of your results. Click QUIT to end the game. PROBLEMS? Click here to send us an email describing your situation, and we'll help. |
