1 Activity: Budgeting case studies AIC 20 B D This activity is easily adaptable for group or one-to-one sessions. Three case studies are provided, trainers are advised to pick one that suits the client best, based on both their own circumstances and also their level of numeracy. The client will need to complete a budget sheet for their case study, whether or not the trainer assists is up to them and depends on both the client s confidence and the time available for the activity. The trainer should choose a budget sheet that they are most comfortable with, one is attached, but others are available. Online budget planners are available on the Citizens Advice and Money Advice Service websites. After the activity, the trainer can discuss any missing elements of the budget as well as what any potential surplus/deficit might mean for the character in the case study. Points to discuss Things missing from the spending might include: Clothes Hair cuts Children - clubs, pocket money, sweets Saving Bus fares Something set aside for unforeseen bills and expenses A positive balance could mean: The amounts aren t realistic Person could regularly save, for a special occasion or an emergency Could make payments on any debts A negative balance could mean: Person is getting into debt Person should look at where to reduce spending Person could think about how to increase income The final handout is one of basic budget tips Citizens Advice BDC5/Sep16/v2

6 Budget tips Use weekly or monthly amounts don t mix them up! Use a calculator. o To convert weekly monthly: x 52, then, 12 o To convert monthly weekly: x 12, then, 52 Make sure amounts are realistic. o To get a realistic picture look at bills or keep a record of prepayment cards Make a rough copy first, so you can make mistakes. Include any final repayments. Don t forget travel costs, especially if you need to get to work. If there are any loan repayments, include these. But these may need to be changed by a money adviser if there are other debts. Include an amount for emergencies and things like Christmas and birthdays. Note: It is worth re-doing a budget when things change such as a new job, finished paying a fine or taking out a loan.
