Personal Financial
Planning

2. The Money Plan: Respond in
your notebook
 Q: I am a high school student. I do not have money for
investments or buying property. So what difference does
it make how I spend my money now?
 A: You will not always be a student. Learning to save
and use money wisely now will help you know how to
achieve financial security in the future. While you are in
high school, financial planning can help you decide how
to spend, save, and invest your money for special
purchases or activities that matter to you. You may
even be able to buy stock

3. Personal Financial Decisions
Personal finance is everything in your life that involves
money.
Some of the benefits of personal financial planning are:
 You have more money and financial security.
 You know how to use money to achieve your goals.
 You have less chance of going into debt you cannot
handle.
 You can help your partner and support your
children, if you have a family.

4. 6 Steps of Financial Planning
 The financial planning process has six steps to help you reach
your goals.
Step 1: Determine Your Current Financial Situation
To figure out your current financial situation, make a list of
items that relate to your finances, such as:
 Savings
 Monthly income (job earnings, allowance, gifts, and
interest on bank accounts)
 Monthly expenses (money you spend)
 Debts (money you owe to others)
When you have determined your financial situation, you will
be able to start planning.

5. 6 Steps of Financial Planning
Step 2: Develop Your Financial Goals
To develop clear financial goals, think about your
attitude toward money and ask yourself some questions:
 Is it more important to spend your money now or
to save for the future?
 Would you rather get a job right after high school
or continue your education?
 Do your personal values affect your financial
decisions?
 Do you know the difference between your needs
and your wants?

6. 6 Steps of Financial Planning
Step 3: Identify Your Options
It is impossible to make a good decision unless you know
all your options. If you are saving $50 a month, for
example, you might have these options:
 Expand the current situation by increasing the
amount of money you save every month to $60.
 Change the current situation by investing in stocks
instead of putting your money into a savings
account.
 Start something new by using the $50 to pay off
your debts.
 Continue the same course of action

7. 6 Steps of Financial Planning
Step 4: Evaluate Your Alternatives
You must consider the consequences and risks of each
decision you make during the financial planning
process.
You can do this by:
 Using the many available sources of financial
information to keep you up-to-date with social
and economic conditions that can affect your
financial situation.
 Understanding the opportunity cost of your
decisions.

8. 6 Steps of Financial Planning
Understanding Risks
When you make a financial decision, you also
accept certain financial risks. Some types of
financial risks include:
 Inflation Risk
 Interest Rate Risk
 Income Risk
 Personal Risk
 Liquidity Risk

9. 6 Steps of Financial Planning
Step 5: Create and Use Your Financial Plan of
Action
A plan of action is a list of ways to achieve your financial
goals.
Some examples of plans of action include:
 Cutting back on spending to increase your
savings.
 Getting a part-time job or working more hours at
your present job to increase your income.

10. 6 Steps of Financial Planning
Step 6: Review and Revise
Your Plan
As you get older, your finances
and needs will change. That
means that your financial plan
will have to change too. You
should reevaluate and revise
it every year

11. The Importance of Financial
Planning

12. Activity: Importance of
Financial Planning Skit
 Your goal is to work in groups of 3-4 to design a skit that
will outline the importance of financial planning. Your
skit needs to include at least 3 of the steps to financial
planning with a detailed explaination of how those steps
can be implemented.
 Feel free to have FUN with this activity: Some ideas for
your skit could include
 A commercial for people who have struggled with financial
planning in the past

15. Personal Finance Chapter 1:
Developing Personal
Financial Goals

16. Types of Financial Goals
 Two factors will influence
your planning for financial
goals. These factors are:
 1) The time frame in
which you would like to
achieve your goals.
 2) The type of financial
need that inspires your
goals.

17. Time Frame of Goals
Goals can be defined by the time it takes to achieve
them:
 Short-term goals take one year or less to
achieve (such as saving to buy a computer).
 Intermediate goals take two to five years to
achieve (such as saving for a down payment on
a house).
 Long-term goals take more than five years to
achieve (such as planning for retirement).
Start with short-term goals that may lead to long-
term ones.

18. Goals for Different Needs
Services and goods are two different categories of
financial needs. A haircut is an example of a service,
while a new car is a good.
How you establish and reach your financial goals will
depend on whether a goal involves the need for:
 Consumable goods (such as a soda)
 Durable goods (such as a car)
 Intangible items (such as an education)

19. Guidelines for Setting Goals
When setting your financial goals, follow these
guidelines:
 Your financial goals should be realistic.
 Your financial goals should be specific.
 Your financial goals should have a clear time
frame.
 Your financial goals should help you decide
what type of action to take.
Your financial goals will change as you go through
life.

problem that teens today face. Turn
this financial problem into a letter
to an advice columnist asking for
help.

25. What Influences my
Financial Decisions?
 Many factors will influence
your day-to-day decisions
about finances.
 The three most important
factors are:
 Life situations
 Personal values
 Economic factors

26. Life Situations and Personal
Values
Your financial planning will be affected by changes in
your life situation, such as:
 Going to college
 Starting a new career
 Getting married
 Having children
 Moving to a new city
Your personal values also influence your financial
decisions.

27. Economic Factors
Economic factors across the country
and around the world play a role in
day-to-day financial planning and
decision making for most people.
To understand economics and the
economy, you need to be aware of:
 Market forces
 Financial institutions
 Global influences
 Economic conditions

28. Market Forces
 The forces of supply and
demand determine the prices
of products, or goods and
services, you purchase.
 When there is a high demand
for an item, or when a
company cannot manufacture
enough of a certain product to
keep up with the demand, the
price of the product rises.

30. Financial Institutions
Most people do business with financial
institutions, which include:
 Banks
 Credit unions
 Savings and loan associations
 Insurance companies
 Investment companies
Financial institutions provide services
that increase financial activity in the
economy.

31. The Federal Reserve System
The Federal Reserve System’s primary role in the
U.S. economy is the regulation of the money
supply. The Fed controls the money supply by:
 Determining interest rates
 Buying or selling government securities
Its decisions affect:
 The interest rate you earn on your savings
 The interest rate you pay when you borrow
money
 The prices of the products you buy

32. The Federal Reserve
Explained in 3 Minutes

33. Global Influences
You and the money you spend are part of the
global marketplace, which is another
economic factor that can affect financial
planning.
The economy of every nation is affected by
competition with other nations. When more
money is leaving the U.S. than entering it, for
example:
 Less money is available for spending
and investing.
 Interest rates may rise.
These global influences also affect personal
financial decisions.

34. Economic Conditions
Current economic
conditions also affect
your personal financial
decisions. The three
important economic
conditions are:
 Consumer prices
 Consumer
spending
 Interest rates

35. Consumer Prices
Over time the prices of most products
inflate.
The main cause of inflation is an increase
in demand without an increase in supply.
For example, prices will rise if:
 People have more money to spend
because of pay increases or
borrowing.
 The same amounts of goods and
services are available.
The inflation rate affects consumer prices
and varies from year to year.

36. Interest Rates
Interest rates represent the cost of
money and are also influenced by
supply and demand.
Interest rates will affect your financial
planning as you:
 Save
 Invest
 Obtain loans
Interest rates are just one facet of the
economic factors that influence your
personal financial planning.
