  2. Budgeting • What is a budget? • Financial plan that compiles and compares a person’s income against all of their expenses in order to analyze spending and meet goals

  3. Budgeting • Income – • Any money you receive. What are other sources of income besides your paycheck? • Interest, dividend payments, gifts, lottery awards, side jobs, etc. • Expenses • Costs of items that are needed or wanted

  4. Budgeting

  5. Budgeting • Fixed Expenses • Same amount every month • Examples? • Variable Expenses • Fluctuate in amount – you usually have some control • Examples? • Periodic or Occasional Expenses • Don’t pay every month and can be fixed or variable • Examples?

  6. Budgeting • A household cash flow worksheet is another important tool in building a budget. • This worksheet takes budget building to the next level, showing exactly where monthly income goes every month

  7. Budgeting • Needs • Goods and services to keep your life stable • Examples? • Wants • Goods and services that are not essential to daily living but make you happy • Examples?

  8. Budgeting • Discretionary spending • Spending money on something you want versus something you need and should be used and evaluated often in order to help keep your balance in control.

  9. Budgeting So how do I find the balance: • Income should be greater than expenses for a net gain. • This occurs when you are living within your means and allows for you to put more in savings. • Expenses greater than income cause a net loss. • You are living outside of your means and you need to either trim expenses or increase income.

  10. Budgeting • Consistency is key to successful budgeting. • Maintaining a balanced budget will help you to monitor and evaluate to determine your overall success. In the long term it improves overall net worth.

  11. Budgeting • Net worth is when your assets are greater than your liabilities • Assets = anything that you own that has positive value. Growing assets increase net worth. • Liabilities = something that you owe. They have negative economic value.
