TAKING CHARGE OF YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE

1. SET YOUR FINANCIAL GOALS

Most people who have money didn't get it overnight. They set goals and work hard to reach them.

Try this - Establish your long and short
term and write them down.

Set due dates for reaching your goals and
evaluate your progress after 6 months.

2. DEVELOP A BUDGET

Track you inflows and outflows of money.

Try this - Use a spreadsheet to analyze your
income and your expenses - - include
all sources of income, all expense
line items, an emergency fund and
goal funding accounts.

3. START SAVING

Small amounts of money saved regularly add up fast. Compound interest, which helps you earn interest on interest, will make your savings grow even faster.

Try this: Open a savings account and have part
of your paycheck deposited directly
into your savings account every month.

- Shop for the best interest rates;
- Understand all fees and charges;
- Take advantage of your company's
401(k) and invest in the maximum possible;
- As your income rises, increase the % you save
- Know that the greater the potentialprofit on an investment, the greater the potential risk of losing your money;
- The earlier you start saving, the more you will have later.

4. MANAGE CREDIT WISELY

Borrowing can help you meet your lone-term goals for an education, car or home. But borrowing for day-to-day needs and wants gets many people into financial trouble.

Try this: Before using your credit card, ask
yourself if you really need this item
enough to borrow the money

- Avoid spur-of-the-moment buys
- Do NOT go shopping
- Limit your monthly spending to expenses that you
have budgeted
- Pay more than the credit card minimum

It would take 61 years to pay off a $5,000 credit card balance if you make only the minium monthly payment and you would pay $16,000 in interest!!!!

5. PROTECT YOUR CREDIT RATING

Lenders use credit reports to decide whether to loan money. Insurance companies, landlords and employers also check credit reports. A report that shows defaults or late paymetns - even 30 days late - can mean not getting a loan or paying a higher interest rate.

Try this: Find out your credit rating. Call a
credit bureau for a free copy of your
report. Pay bill on time, check
your credit report every year and
notify the credit bureau of errors.

6. ALWAYS GET THE BEST DEAL BY TAKING
CONTROL OF YOUR FINANCES

HOW TO MANAGE MONEY AS A COUPLE

(SEE POST 6/13)

1) FOCUS ON AN OVERALL VISION AND MONEY PLAN
2) TALK, TALK, TALK
3) FIND THE BALANCE OF POWER AROUND MONEY
4) MAKE DECISIONS TOGETHER
5) DEFINE YOUR MONEY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
6) ADDRESS PROBLEMS
7) PERFORM ANNUAL CHECKUPS
8) TALK A LITTLE MORE
