Budget Gross vs. Net Income : Gross Income – The amount you make before taxes are taken out of your paycheck. Net Income – The amount you make after taxes and deductions. (Also called “Take-Home Pay”) TIP: Focus on the net income for your budget!

Budget Expenses: How much do you think you’ll spend per month after high school or college? Let’s look at an example budget. What are possible unexpected expenses?

Budget THREE TIPS FOR SUCCESS: Pay your bills on time or early. Keep good records. Set aside time to review your budget.

Checking Accounts - Four Tips: Managing Your Money Checking Accounts - Four Tips: Choose the best bank account for you. Balance your bank account. - Keep track of what you spend! Only spend an amount you actually have in your account. - And watch for bank fees and ATM charges! Keep an eye on check/debit cards – They are easy to use, easy to abuse.

Managing Your Money Saving Accounts and Investments: Tip: Saving money, even just a little, is paying yourself first. The habit of saving is more important than the amount you save! Most employers offer 401K Retirement Accounts to which you may contribute monthly. If your employer doesn’t offer a 401K, you may still invest in an individual Retirement Account, or IRA.

Managing Your Money $400,000 $350,000 $300,000 $250,000 $200,000 $150,000 $100,000 $50,000 $0 “$250 per month savings contribution for 40 years at 5% interest. Total investment is $120,000, with a return of $400,000.”

Types of Debt So what secured debt could I incur? Buying a car – Watch the interest rates on car loans, and read the contract. If you don’t make payments, your car could be repossessed! Buying a home – Use the SMART plan to save money for a down payment on the home you plan to buy. Keep an eye on interest rates; certain types of mortgages can be bad news. Try to pay more principal debt owed each month. This will help you earn equity in your home. If you stop making mortgage payments, your house could be placed in foreclosure!

Credit Reports Bad credit reports are like bad report cards…no fun!!! It’s reviewed by lenders, landlords, potential employers, insurance agencies, utility companies… It may contain someone else’s information. It may contain false/mistaken information/ Most negative information can affect credit for up to seven years or more! TIP: Just like forest fires, only YOU can prevent false information on your credit report!!!

Bankruptcy TIP: Bankruptcy should be viewed as a last resort! Bankruptcy is a way to handle debts once you’re overcome with bills, and can’t pay those debts with monthly payments. Bankruptcy can negatively affect your credit rating for up to ten years, causing it to be difficult to get credit in the future. TIP: Bankruptcy should be viewed as a last resort!

Be Money Wise REMEMBER: Be wary of co-signing for debt for another person. If you take on more debt than you can handle, you could lose the property or face a lawsuit. By using the tools we have discussed today, you can avoid having too much debt, and achieve financial success!

GOOD LUCK! GREAT FINANCIAL SUCCESS!!! We wish you the best of luck in whatever you do, and we wish you GREAT FINANCIAL SUCCESS!!!
