  • Updated

With the Manage Goals panel, you can adjust the size of your contribution to each goal type and determine the priority of goals within a specific type.

A contribution is the amount of money that you plan to allocate each month to an overall goal type. The priority is the order in which that contribution will be applied to each goal within a particular type.

Your monthly contribution will be applied to whatever goal has the highest priority. When that goal is achieved, the contribution will be applied to the goal with the second-highest priority and so on.
