Learning to use a Budget
In this presentation, you will apply real life situations that will influence your ability to earn
and handle money.
By the end, you should have thought about where your money comes from, where it goes and how to
budget for the future.
A budget is a plan of future income and expenses. It is a way of
planning or tracking cash flow to manage your money.
Without a budget, you can easily fall into unexpected debt!
What is a Budget?

Creating a budget helps you understand what you have and your spending habits.
It helps you examine your financial choices.

Creating a Budget
The best way to make a budget for the future is to figure out how you spend your money now.First, look at where your money comes from (income)
and where it goes (expenses).

The number one influence affecting your income is
EDUCATION!

income opportunity.
A good education is the first step to successful employment.

Benefits are various types of non-wage compensations provided to employees in addition to their normal
wages or salaries, such as:
Some positions include a benefits package. These benefits can result in decreased expenses. Be sure to
consider benefit packages when accepting a job.
1414
The goal is for your income to always be greater than your expenses!
The next consideration when planning a budget is expenses. An expense is the cash spent to pay for an item or service.
There are 2 types of expenses: 1. Discretionary (wants) 2. Fixed (needs)
1515
Discretionary expenses (wants) are those items that are not required and can be eliminated or greatly reduced.
1616
Always pay yourself!!
Include a specific savings amount in your budget.
Money in a savings account earns interest and is another form of income!
1717
Savings
To open a savings account go to a:
Bank, Savings & Loan or a Credit Union
A minimum amount of money is required to maintain the account.
Interest is the amount paid to you to keep your money in the bank. Think of it as “rent on your money”. It is a percentage rate and is usually paid quarterly, but can be paid monthly.
1818
If you deposited $25.00 a month into your savings account, for one year, then you would have saved $300.00.
Your savings account has an interest rate of 6%. Therefore, in a year your total would be $334.93; meaning you earned $34.93.If you left the money in your account and continued to deposit $25.00 a month, then at the end of five years, you would have
$1,777.94!
If you deposited $25.00 a month into your savings account, for one year, then you would have saved $300.00.
Your savings account has an interest rate of 6%. Therefore, in a year your total would be $334.93; meaning you earned $34.93.If you left the money in your account and continued to deposit $25.00 a month, then at the end of five years, you would have

Budgeting is managing your expenses within your income. If you fall short of
money, discretionary spending should be eliminated, or postponed.

Fixed expenses (needs) are items that must be paid.
A mortgage is the amount you pay monthly to the bank for a period of time, usually 30 years, to buy your home.
Where you live is a fixed expense…
2222
Expenses vary as your life changes. For example, the decision to rent versus owning a home impacts your expenses, responsibility, and flexibility.
Rent is the amount you pay monthly to the landlord (owner) of the property where you live.
There are ADVANTAGES of RENTING:
Amenities included like: Pool, Tennis courts, and Exercise room
Moving or relocating is relatively simple.
No large down payment required, only a security deposit.
No responsibilities for maintenance like: Appliance repairs and Home Improvements
No equity risk if a downturn in the market occurs.
2323
There are DISADVANTAGES of RENTING:
No tax deductions for monthly payment.
No equity gains in the rising value of real estate.
Rents rise with inflation or market demand.
Restrictions are made regarding noise level, pets, children or decorative changes.
2424
There are ADVANTAGES of OWNING a HOME:
Mortgage payments contribute to an investment, most property increases in value over a period of years.
With a fixed loan, the payment remains constant for the life of the loan.
Homeowners can borrow against the equity, as the value of the home increases.
The interest paid on a mortgage and property taxes are income tax deductions.
Ownership contributes to financial security when the mortgage is paid off, especially in retirement, when income normally decreases.
2525
There are DISADVANTAGES of OWNING a HOME:
A down payment is needed, often 10% or more.
Owning a home requires a substantial commitment in time and money for maintenance, repairs, and association fees.
Homes can decrease in value if the neighborhood deteriorates or the real estate market suffers a decline.
Home ownership requires sufficient income to afford many types of insurance.
Property taxes could increase dramatically, depending on where you live.
2626
Insurance
2727
You are required to have insurance if you rent, own a home, or have a car.
Insurance is a contract (insurance policy) where one party (insurer) agrees to pay another party (insured) for losses affecting the insured's interests (the insurable interest).
Insurance is a fixed expense and usually the premiums are paid monthly.
A premium is the consideration that the insurer receives for paying the loss.
Disasters can happen in your daily life and insurance will help cover any damages or losses.

Another consideration is owning a car.
What can you afford to spend?
Allocate 10% of the budget.

Let’s see how income and expenses impact a budget, by following the scenario of a twenty-five
year-old, single mother.
3535
Meet Susan.She is a single mother with a
high school education.
She is working as an administrative assistant in an insurance office earning $12.50 per hour.
She is divorced and has 2 children, ages 4 and 7.
She receives $700 a month in child support from her ex-husband, James. He is a maintenance tech at a hotel, making $20.00 per hour.
Susan’s Salary:
$12.50 per hour 2080 hours (40 hrs x 52 wks) = $26,000(times)

Susan’s monthly expenses should not exceed $2,449.00 per month.
Therefore, Susan’s income, after payroll taxes, is $1749.00. This is her “net pay” or the amount of money you take
home.

Susan also receives $700.00 in child support from James each month, which is added to her income.
Susan’s first fixed expense is childcare.
The cost is $500 per month. Her four-year old child receives full-time care and her seven-year
old receives after-school care.
This cost cannot be adjusted.

flyers, etc.
Complete the blank spreadsheet and fill-in amounts for the monthly rent or mortgage and car payment.
