Question

Select the type of goal being described in each example.

Tucker wants to save up enough money to take a long vacation.

Xander wants to graduate from high school one year early.

Giselle wants to get a job that allows her to work from home.

Answer 1

Tucker — Medium-term goal
- Saving enough money for a big vacation typically takes several months to a few years, so it’s a medium-term financial goal.

Xander — Short-term goal
- Graduating one year early is a target within about a year, so it’s a short-term goal.

Giselle — Long-term goal
- Securing a job that lets her work from home is a career-oriented change that often takes longer to plan and achieve, so it’s a long-term goal.
