I like to have goals per time frame, like per week or month or season, then write it down as is, like a to-do list:
January
$5000 in bank account
for concrete goals, that seems to work well. If it's to be open ended, then can let the universe do the work, otherwise break it down into actionable steps.
For more abstract goals or directions, like 'I am successful, healthy, happy, on path of my purpose' it helps to phrase those as affirmations, since they're not time-based, but general compass directions or states of mind.

If you say I will have $5000 in two weeks time that puts the goal outside of the present which is where goals should be visualised.

I don't like to phrase things like this completely in the present, because I think that confuses the mind. Instead of saying 'I have ... in a few weeks' which is not specific, or 'I have ... already' which sounds completed, I like instead to say 'in January, I have $5000 in my account' or 'I have $5000 in my account by January' it can both let the mind know that you are not there yet and still have work to do, AND phrase it in the present tense for the subconscious to be open to it.
