8 Budgets need to be Flexible Evaluate your budget To get ahead, you should be spending less than you earn You need to look at how well you use your extra income. If you find yourself spending more than you earn, you'll need to consider reducing your discretionary spending. make some adjustments. if you do find yourself coming up short, don't worry! All it will take is some determination and a little self-discipline, and you'll eventually get it right. Monitor your budget You'll need to monitor your budget periodically and make changes when necessary. Be prepared for the unexpected (e.g., leaky roof, failed car transmission).
9 Budget Tips to help you stay on Track Involve the entire family: Agree on a budget up front and meet regularly to check your progress Stay disciplined: Try to make budgeting a part of your daily routine Start your new budget at a time when it will be easy to follow and stick with the plan (e.g., the beginning of the year, as opposed to right before the holidays) Find a budgeting system that fits your needs (e.g., budgeting software) Distinguish between expenses that are "wants" (e.g., designer shoes) and expenses that are "needs" (e.g., groceries) Build rewards into your budget (e.g., eat out every other week) Avoid using credit cards to pay for everyday expenses: It may seem like you're spending less, but your credit card debt will continue to increase

17 An example of credit today Individual wants to purchase a home with a sales price of $300k and they need to borrow funds from a financial institution to purchase the home. For this example, an 80% loan to value would mean that the individual would have a $60k down payment and a $240k loan amount. The information below is for a 30-year fixed loan at 6% interest and depicts the increase in monthly payment 80% Loan to Value (LTV) = $240k loan Credit Score = additional.25% in rate ($38.80/month) Credit Score = additional.125% in rate ($19.35/month) If LTV 75% or below = $225k loan Credit Score = additional.125% in rate ($18.13/month) Score 740+ = No change If LTV higher than 80% = $270k loan (10% down payment) Credit Score = additional % in rate ($65.66/mo. to $87.79/mo) Credit Score 740+ = additional.125% in rate ($21.76/month)

25 Roth IRA s The Roth IRA was born on January 1, 1998 as a result of the Taxpayer Relief Act of It's named after former Senator William V. Roth, Jr. Unlike Traditional IRAs, contributions to a Roth IRA are nondeductible regardless of your income level or participation in a company-sponsored retirement plan There are rules on eligibility and the level of contributions A qualified distribution is generally, any payment or distribution made after the 5 taxable year period beginning with the first year for which a contribution was made to a Roth IRA set up and; made on or after you reach age 59 ½ or that is made to buy, build, or rebuild a first home (lifetime limit is $10k) made for certain higher education expenses made to a beneficiary or to your estate after your death made because you are disabled
26 Roth IRA s Any distribution that is not a qualified distribution may be taxable as ordinary income and subject to the additional 10% tax on early distributions You are not required to start taking minimum distributions from a Roth IRA after age 70 1/2, as you are with a Traditional IRA, and you can continue to contribute as long as you continue to have earned income. When retired, many individuals evaluate the merits of converting their Traditional IRA accounts to a Roth IRA (this strategy is not for everyone)
27 Defined Benefit Typically thought of as a traditional pension plan Benefits are a fixed amount (e.g., $1k/month for life) that is typically based on years of service and salary history Employer funds entire plan through minimum funding contributions, as well as quarterly payments. Employees receive benefits through vesting schedule Requires insurance payments to Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, in case of employer default of benefits For 2011, the limit to a defined-benefit qualified plan is the lesser of $195,000 or 100% of the employee's average compensation over a consecutive three-year period that spans his or her highest compensation.

Spend within your means. Use insurance appropriately. Involve your spouse and family. Don t procrastinate over financial decisions. Develop a plan and commit to the process.
43 Top 25 Money Essentials (not in order) Avoid the current fads (e.g., dot com stocks). Diversify (no more than 5% in one stock). Do not have more than 80% in stocks. Don t try to time any financial market. Determine and invest according to your risk tolerance. Save/Invest systematically - pay yourself first. Have enough cash reserves to handle emergencies. Make decisions logically, not emotionally. Realize that you will have to pay for expert advice. Plan for bad news on inflation and taxes.
44 Top 25 Money Essentials (not in order) Make your own decisions and don t be overly influenced by others (friends and family). Take profits and cut losses (buy low, sell high). Don t have too much in idle assets (cash, CDs, etc.) Take action - don t assume things will always work out and go your way if you just wait and do nothing. Understand the difference between market timing, security selection, and asset allocation. Realize that no person, TV show, or firm, knows where any stock, or market, is going, when, or by how much.
