Planning your finances
Your own plan will help you control your money.
If you set some goals, make a plan and stick to it,
you can make progress.
What do you want to achieve?
Would you like to:
- Pay off your credit cards?
- Buy a new car and pay it off quickly?
- Buy a home and pay it off quickly?
- Save for your children's education?
- Put some money aside for your retirement?
These are some typical financial goals. Others include paying off personal loans or saving up for a holiday. Write down your own goals as the first step in your plan.
How much will each goal cost?
The next step in planning your finances is to estimate how much your goals may cost, and compare that cost with what you are saving. Then you can see if there's a gap to close. Estimating costs is fairly straightforward for the goals you have already started, such as loans you are paying off.
Budgeting and dealing with unexpected events
What if you're not saving any money, not saving enough or unexpected events throw your finances into disarray? Budgeting and being prepared for unexpected events can change things for the better, often without too much pain.
Budgeting: what you need, and what you want
It is important to remember that financial
stability does not rely on how much you make, but on
what you choose to spend. The most important aspect
of money management is to create a budget. You should
know, approximately, how much income, minus taxes, is
coming in every month. This is easily assessed by adding
together the pay stubs of a given month. Once you have
established what you make every month, it is important
to live within that budget.
The best tool for finding extra money is a budget. Look
at the things you need - the essentials, such as housing
and food - and those you simply like to have, or want.
When you need to trim the budget, cut back on thewants'
first - things that aren't essential for everyday life.
Don't cut out all the wants, because if your budget's
too tight, it's not going to work.
