Five Goals of Investing

I recently stumbled accross this article about the five goals of investing and thought it provided some decent insight into why we save invest.

The article lists such goals as:

Retirement

Wealth Creation

Security

Fun

Freedom

The goal that I see as the most important here is "Freedom". Of course the old saying is true that money can not buy happiness, but it certainly can allow you the freedom to seek it.
