How to Avoid Common Consumer’s

Woes: The Big Ideas

1.

Work hard now

to find a career

that fits you and

pays a living

wage.

2. Budget. Tell

your money

where to go.

3. Save >10%.

Reach your

goals by paying

yourself first.

4. Watch out for

“leaks” in your

spending.

5. Debt is

dangerous.

Borrow wisely.

(7)

1. Education Pays

Additional schooling/training is necessary to learn/develop skills for

living-wage careers. You will not develop those skills here.

Those who are skilled are more desirable and better paid. How are you going to become skilled? Options:

• Bachelor’s degree • Master’s degree

• 2 year degree or certificate • Apprenticeship program

• Professional degree (law, medicine, physical therapy) • For-profit schools (beauty schools, culinary schools, etc.)

How can you find a way to match what you’re good at with a job you like that pays you well? What are you doing to figure this out?

People end up in jobs they don’t enjoy to buy stuff they don’t need with money they don’t have to impress people they don’t like.

(8)

Monthly earnings with:

bachelor’s degree = $4404

high school diploma = $2672

That’s a difference of $1732 a month.

(9)

2. Budget to control your money

 Maximize your income and minimize your expenses to help you meet your

responsibilities and achieve your financial goals!!!

 Does your money disappear too fast each month? Tell your money where to go

instead. Know your monthly income and bills, then figure out what to do with the excess based on goals. A real-life example:

$1920 ($12/hr x 40 hours x 4 weeks) -384 (taxes @ 20%)

-500 (rent)

-150 (utilities - electric, phone, water, gas, cable, internet, garbage) -200 (car payment?)

-150 (gas)

-250 (food)= $8.33/day -150 (car insurance)

-100 (medical/house/gifts/car maintenance) = $36

(10)

3. Save by Paying Yourself First

Put money away for saving/investing at the beginning of the

month.

Adult rule: 3 months worth of expenses in an emergency

fund. $500 is a great starting point for young people.

Save at least 10% (20%?) of your monthly income.

Save and invest regularly through monthly automatic

withdrawals from your checking account to savings accounts

and investment accounts. Make saving and investing

automatic and start as soon as you can.

(11)

4. Watch the Little Things

What are your spending habits? Are they unwise or do they reflect

your priorities?

Clothes, tobacco/alcohol/drugs, eating out, coffee, pop, and vending machine snack costs add up fast. Have you done the math?

$4 coffee drink x 20 times a month = $80/month or $960/year • $5 lunch x 20 times a month = $100/month or $1200/year

Is this where you want your money to go? If so, great! But, what if you redirected it to college savings or to save for a new computer or car? Is this more important to you?

How can you avoid these expenses and save for your goals? Don't smoke, make lunch and coffee at home, drink water from reusable bottle, etc.

(12)

5. Debt Sucks

 Many people bury themselves in debt early in life. Its like trying to cup

water out of boat with a hole in the bottom.

 Pay your credit card in full every month. Save for things you wish to

buy. Minimize college loans. Set yourself up to borrow at low interest rates by building a good credit score.

Credit Cards

If you borrowed $5000 at 20% interest, and paid $100 a month, it would take you more than 9 years to pay off the debt. Total payments would equal $10,900. That’s $5900 in interest!

Student Loans

If you borrow $60,000 at 6% interest on a 20 year loan, you’ll pay $430/ mo. Your payments add up to $103,166 .

Mortgages

A 200,000 mortgage, at 6% interest over 30 years is $1200/mo. and $431,000 in total. That's $231,000 just in interest.

(13)

6. Compounding Interest is Rad.

Invest early and regularly.

Compounding interest is the eighth wonder of the world. Compound interest arises when interest is added to the principal, so that, from that moment on, the interest that has been added also earns interest.

Example: Growth/

Start of year Interest Rate Interest Earned End of Year

Year 1: $1000 x 6% =$60 1000 + 60 = $1060

Year 2: $1060 x 6% = $63.60 1060+63.60 = $1123.60

Year 3: $1123.60 x 6% = $67.42 1123.60+67.42 =$1191.02

Year 4: $1191.02 x 6% = $71.46 1191.02+71.46 =$1262.48

Year x $100,000 x 6% = $6000 100,000+6000 =$106,000

Year x+1 $106,000 x 6% = $6360 106,000+6360 =$112,360

Question: What's 6% of 1 million dollars? Answer: $60,000.

Imagine $60,000 in wealth created from doing nothing!
