Answer: This goal is not specific enough.

Explanation: This goal is not specific enough. It is important for Brad to specify a clear amount he intends to save at the end of the year.

Brad saying he wants to save money by the end of the year is vague and as such, He can say at the end of the year he has saved money if he saved $2.

But financial planners will disagree with this because in order to set a goal, it must be realistic, achievable and explicit.
