Why is it important to track my investment goals?

It's really important to track your investment goals because it's kind of a game - you want to know where you stand. You put all this time and effort into creating this vision for your life, creating the life zones, figuring out what you want to own, accomplish and be, and you direct deposited money into these separate investment accounts. Now it's time to figure out - alright, am I getting closer to reaching my goals? How close am I getting? Do I need to put more money in each month? Maybe the performance of the accounts isn't what I thought it was going to be. As a result, I'm going to be short when I need the money, so I might have to put some more money in. You're only going to be able to answer those questions if you are tracking your investment progress.
