The Personal Life Cycle, Needs& Wants GCSE ECONOMICS: UNIT 11 The Personal Life Cycle, Needs& Wants Mr Tarn Get adding up to a lifetime Key Terms Income: total money received from a person’s wages/salary, interest and dividends.   Borrowing: getting money from a lender that must be repaid in the future (e.g. a mortgage). Savings: putting money aside for later use. Needs and wants: needs are essential to our lives but wants are things we could survive without. Leaving school, college/ university: when a person ceases to be in full-time education and looks for employment. Gaining employment: being offered and accepting a paid job. Promotion: a new higher-paid job role involving greater responsibility and skill. Debt: the amount still owing from funds borrowed. Unemployment: when an individual without a job is seeking paid employment or is able to work. Tax credit: a state benefit paid to employees through the tax system, which acts like a negative tax. Pensions: a benefit paid as of right to those of retirement age who have paid the minimum National Insurance contributions. Taxes: a fee levied by a government on a product, income or activity. Tax allowances: sums deducted from total income before income tax is calculated.

Aims of today’s lesson … Identify the different stages of the personal life cycle Analyse the difference between needs and wants Evaluate how needs and wants change over the personal life cycle

Personal Life Cycle: stages Most people will experience leaving home, working, establishing their own families and retiring This is known as the personal life cycle Throughout the cycle incomes, needs and wants change significantly.... Childhood (0-12) Late Adult (Old Age) Adolescence (teenagers) Personal Life Cycle Middle Adult (Middle Age) Throughout this progression, incomes will change significantly: firstly when someone gets a job, and then as they advance their career. Retirement is likely to see income fall again. Young Adult

Key milestones in the personal life cycle Important events (‘milestones’) in the personal life cycle will affect our finances Leaving school Gaining employment Promotion Unemployment Retirement At all stages of life, most people’s income will be limited compared with their needs and certainly their wants, and they will have to make decisions. For each choice there is an opportunity cost (see 1.2 Making decisions). People may have to pay for university course fees, rent and so on, and will need to carefully weigh the benefits they expect to receive in potential higher future salary against these. Later, people may want to buy rather than rent a house, so they may need to borrow large amounts of money. Once children leave home, people may have more disposable income and therefore will be able to save money for retirement. On retirement, they may need to use up some savings to supplement their pension. Important events (‘milestones’) in the personal life cycle will affect our finances. Typical milestones are likely to include:   Leaving school: The point at which someone stops being looked after 24/7 by their parents and starts managing their own life. They then either go on to further education or find a job. Gaining higher qualifications is expensive but can help a person earn more in later life. Gaining employment: If someone is successful in gaining qualifications, they will have a wider choice of jobs. The higher the level of qualification, the more likely they are to find a better-paid job, but they may have to choose between higher pay or a job that is more enjoyable and satisfying. Promotion: If people work hard and are responsible, they may be promoted or find better-paid employment. This is called promotion. Promotion gives people the opportunity to develop skills, but it also allows them to take on greater financial commitments and buy more goods and services. Depending on the point in their career, it may also enable them to build up savings or pay off debts. Unemployment: If someone loses their job for some reason, they become unemployed. An unemployed person may need financial help from the government as they will no longer receive a wage or salary. Benefits paid by the government can help in these circumstances. If we have built up savings, these may now have to be used to support our lifestyle while we seek further employment. Retirement: When people reach the age of 60 (for women – rising to 65 in 2020) or 65 (for men), they reach the official retirement age. They can now cease paid work because they will receive a state pension, and possibly an additional pension from their employer. A person with a private pension or adequate savings can choose to stop work voluntarily at any time. Savings decisions made earlier in life will help determine how much money someone can spend in retirement. Post-retirement income is likely to be lower than income earned from work, so difficult adjustments may have to be made to lifestyles.

How the government affects stages of the personal life cycle There are many points in people’s lives when they may need additional financial help from the government. This is provided through the benefits system: Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) Tax Credits (reduces income tax that low-paid workers have to pay) Jobcentre Plus offices provide benefits and services to help people to find work (Jobseeker’s Allowance), start their own business, help individuals manage in low-paid jobs or help with work-related accidents or illness Pensions For those aged 16–19, the government pays an Education Maintenance Allowance of £10–£30 per week to encourage pupils from poorer families to continue their education. Money can also be provided for child care to those under 20 who want to continue their studies. For those going on to university, the government subsidises the course fees and provides low-interest ‘student loans’. The rates of interest charged on student loans are low compared with a bank loan.   For people of working age, there are benefits to help them find or maintain employment. Tax credits help increase the take-home income of low-paid workers, so they are better off working rather than claiming unemployment benefits. The tax credit reduces the income tax they have to pay. Jobcentre Plus offices provide benefits and services to help people to find work (Jobseeker’s Allowance), start up their own business, help individuals manage in low-paid jobs or help with work-related accidents or illness. The government pays pensions to people in retirement if they have paid sufficient National Insurance contributions. A pension is vital because most people over 65 will no longer get an income from work. The government also pays a variety of other benefits to pensioners on low incomes (e.g. the winter fuel payment, currently between £250 and £400 each year). In order to pay for these benefits, the government collects taxes. One of the main taxes is income tax (also known as Pay As You Earn or PAYE). The amount of income tax you pay is related to how much you earn. In 2009, the basic rate of income tax is 20 per cent but higher earners pay 40 per cent on anything they earn over £34,800. The personal tax allowance means that a UK citizen in 2009 can earn up to £6,035 without having to pay any income tax. Pensioners receive higher age-related personal allowances – up to £9,180 for persons aged 75 or over.

What is the difference between needs and wants? Needs are those things people need to survive Wants are the things that make life more enjoyable and also change as circumstances change Needs are those things people need to survive such as water, heating, shelter, access to healthcare, basic clothing. Wants are the things that make life more enjoyable and also change as circumstances change. Wants are goods or services that are not necessary but that we desire or wish for.

What is the difference between needs and wants? At all stages of the personal life cycle, incomes are likely to be limited; as such we say income is a ‘SCARCE RESOURCE’ Needs and wants, however, are likely to be UNLIMITED People have to decide between the purchases that are essential (NEEDS) and those that are not (WANTS) For example, one needs clothes, but one may not needs designer clothes One does not need toys, movies, or games. One needs food, but does not have to have steak or dessert. For example, one needs clothes, but one may not needs designer clothes Many times advertisers try to appeal to consumers in such a way that the consumers feel they need certain goods or services when in fact they only want them. Whether something is a need or want depends on the circumstances. A mobile phone is a ‘need’ for a busy business person, but arguably a ‘want’ for a teenager. paying your own way: http://www.schoolsworld.tv/videos/ks4-pshe-paying-your-own-way?SESSaef1b61f645a7b455a8871fb2d6604e6=962eed33265f189930a2e8b444239e12 Slides and dag n drop: http://www.wisc-online.com/Objects/ViewObject.aspx?ID=ABM3302 (Load and play)
