How to Trigger Milestones Before a Specific Age or Calendar Year

Published Dec 14, 2024Dec 14, 2024

VisionWealth Gratuit enhanced Milestone options, allowing you to set goals tied to achieving specific metrics before a certain age or date, not just on it. This feature enhances flexibility and detail in Milestone-based planning, enabling you to stay aligned with key financial goals. Examples include:

  • Reaching a target net worth by age 40 to qualify for early retirement.
  • Deciding to return to work if net worth falls below $0 before reaching age 60.
  • Saving $0 by age 35 to cover a child’s tuition upfront.
  • Accumulating $0 by age 45 to purchase a vacation home without borrowing.

How to Use ā€œBefore Specific Ageā€ and ā€œBefore Calendar Yearā€

Note: Unless you modify your date of birth, Before Specific Age and Before Calendar Year are effectively interchangeable.

1. Access Milestones

  • Navigate to Settings > Milestones.

Getting to Milestones

  • Create a new milestone or select an existing one.

2. Set Milestone Criteria

  • Choosing ā€œBefore you reach ageā€

    Return to School Example

    Example: Save $0 in Taxable Investments before age 39 to return to school.

    • Define a target age (e.g., 39).
    • Add additional financial goals, such as achieving a specific net worth or savings amount.
  • Choosing ā€œBefore calendar yearā€

    Goal by Calendar Year

    Example 1: Relocate closer to family by 2032, provided my net worth reaches $0K or more and I’ve had my first child.

    • Set a target year (e.g., 2032).
    • Align it with financial goals like funding a major expense or life change.

    Example 2: Return to work if your portfolio value drops below a set threshold before a certain calendar year.

    Return to Work

    • Create a custom milestone and label it according to your preference, such as ā€œReturn to Work.ā€
    • Set the milestone to occur before a specified year (e.g., 2040).
    • Tie an additional criterion of the milestone to a specific net worth or portfolio value (e.g., below $0M).
    • Note: The ā€œBefore you reach ageā€ functionality could also be applied in this example.
