6 Unit Overview Good financial planning is the key to achieving financial security. Financial security means knowing that you can make, save and invest enough money to achieve your goals. A financial plan shows your current financial situation, identifies your financial goals and suggests ways for you to achieve them. The economy is the financial structure of a country. The U.S. has a free-market economy, which is one in which prices are freely determined by the available supply and consumer demand.

7 Introducing the Lesson Vocabulary Financial security is knowing that you can make, save, and invest enough money to achieve your goals. A goal is something you want to make happen in the future. A short-term goal is one that you can accomplish in the next year. A mid-range goal is one you hope to achieve within the next one to five years. A long-term goal is one that will take five years or more to reach. A financial plan is a “road map” that shows a person’s current financial situation, identifies his or her financial goals, and suggests ways of achieving those goals.

17 Unit Overview A budget helps you keep track of how much you earn and how much you spend. In essence, it’s a plan for how to spend, save, and invest the money you make. One of the easiest and most convenient places to keep your money is in a bank. Banks provide safety and security for hard-earned money. A dollar you have today may be worth more or less in the future, depending on how it’s invested.

18 Introducing the Lesson Vocabulary A budget is a plan for how to spend, save, and invest the money you make. It helps you keep track of how much you earn and how much you spend. Money you receive, such as wages from a job, an allowance, or even gifts, is called income. Money you spend on school supplies, clothes, food, birthday gifts and entertainment is called expenses. If you spend more than you earn, you will have a budget deficit. If you spend less than you earn, you will have a budget surplus.
