Financial goals on MMEX

[MlinMMEX]

Hello,
Not urgent, but would it be interesting to have a feature of "financial goals", as a list of amount and dates to be set?

Let's open a forum discussion... Regards.

I understand your point, financial goals can be very subjective and vary from person to person. Some might want to save for a trip, others for a car or an emergency fund. However, more than just a simple list of amounts and dates, I have always found a detailed expense analysis with smart suggestions much more useful.

For example, MMEX could provide a deeper insight into our expenses and suggest strategies to save money.

Example:

• "You have spent too much on non-essential expenses"
  ➜ The system could suggest reducing expenses on streaming subscriptions (e.g., Netflix, Disney+, Paramount) by keeping only one active at a time.
• "Your restaurant expenses are increasing"
  ➜ It could warn you that in the last 3 months, you have spent more than usual on restaurants and suggest reducing by 20%.

In short, a function that not only shows your expenses but also helps you make better financial decisions.

Maybe this is where our approach to saving differs . I try to trim expenses as much as possible because I have limited funds, while I hope you are so wealthy that you only think about accumulating money for some luxurious financial goals!

These would still be two great features to see implemented… the financial goals feature might be easier to achieve, while the second one, in my opinion, would require something capable of recognizing expenses. Maybe a GPL chat module or an artificial intelligence that analyzes data more intelligently.

What do you think?

These could be goals for personal finance... Some of them may be related to the process, others, the motivations and reasons to get richer...
