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
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
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?
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
