Abstract
A method of identifying and prioritizing goals for retirement is provided. The method comprises obtaining by a computer a list of goals from a user to create a first list and providing a list of pre-selected goals to the user. The user's preferred goals are obtained by a computer from the list of pre-selected goals to create a second list and the first list and the second list are combined into a combined list. In the next step, the goals are prioritized by a computer on the combined list based on the user's preferences. A first question is proposed by a computer to the user and the user's response to the first question is recorded by a computer. The goals are reprioritized by a computer on the combined list based on the user's preferences.

- prioritizing by a computer the goals on the combined list based on the user's preferences;
- proposing by a computer a first question to the user;
- recording by a computer the user's response to the first question;
- and
- reprioritizing by a computer the goals on the combined list based on the user's preferences.
