Monitoring helps you determine exactly when a goal is on track. It provides you a feedback which incorporated allows you to make rectifications and therefore achieve your goals which you have laid out earlier. Feedback is important as it could tell you whether the path that you have chosen to achieve your goals is correct. It is a vindication of some sort. A reality check. It gives you an opportunity to correct your deviations and take you towards your goal.
November 2002 - I boarded the train from Mumbai to Pune to take up my first job. Net income was Rs 15,000/- We were working in one of the top IT service companies and quite excited. I used to meticulously write my expenses on daily basis. Very soon, I had made some good friends. I was eating out regularly. There was one late night movie every week, parties during the week. I stopped writing my expenses. Every Friday there was a Sumo ready to take us back to Mumbai and every dreadful Monday, there was one to take us back to office. By the time I left my first job and moved to the second one, I had Rs 4000/- in my bank account (2 years of saving).
