Look at the bottom lines over time and see if there is a steady increase. That indicates you haven\u2019t failed. <\/p>\n<p>Money is not static. It is dynamic.  So are the stock market and other investment options in which you may put your money. Plan for the future and don\u2019t get too hung up on today, according to Lauren Lyons Cole, certified financial planner and editor of \u201cYour Money at Business Insider.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Individual bumps or dips in your net worth are not necessarily indicators of success or failure. One mistake doesn\u2019t doom you to a lifetime of struggle any more than one lucky break assures that you\u2019ll never have tough times. Enjoy the ups and don\u2019t let the downs get you down.<\/p>\n<p>Since money is dynamic, your financial goals also can fluctuate with circumstances. Long-term planning is essential, but not beyond adapting when necessary. Don\u2019t underestimate your potential.<\/p>\n<p>Deal with issues as they arise. If you lost your job, look for a new one.  If you have too much debt, cut spending to the bone while you pay it down. If your progress toward the goals you have set seems too slow, don\u2019t give up. Keep working toward them. If you can cross some off the list, set new ones. Keeping the target in view is the secret to making your personal goals come  to fruition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Financial mistakes are the norm.
