Financial Planning The saying “Money can’t buy happiness is likely very true. It is also true that the lack of money can cause problems and limit your personal and career options. The world of money is one area where people, especially young people, often feel that they are not in control. They may at times even feel that they are out of control. You can an now to take control of your financial affairs. Perhaps you have already started to do so. Financial planning will help you to get the most from your spending, to save for the future and to avoid debt problems.

Lifestyle choices are influenced by a number of factors including: – Discussion: $500, lottery, extra $20, leisure time/cost, any job? Lifestyle choices reflect your VALUES!

Level A – Variety of lifestyle choices and clarify personal values to lifestyles Lifestyle Choices Organizer - groups of two (teacher selected) Time, Life Cycles – Affect Goals Lifestyle Possible challenges, joys and problems Clarifying Lifestyle Priorities –Reality Check How do you balance out your reality check? –Surplus or deficit –Is it easier to make more money or cut back on expenses –Priorities?

Needs, Wants, Priorities Why is it important to separate your needs and wants? What is an example of a need and want in your life? What do you want to know about managing your needs or wants in your own life? Shopping – group, put three on the board from each group – 2 minutes (bought recently) Needs: a necessity, something required, something essential for life Wants: a desire, something wished for, something non- essential

Go through SHOPPING LIST – Categorize –You will soon learn that needs and wants vary from person to person and from time to time System –1- essential for healthy living (basic food, clothing,shelter) –2 – are not essential but important (bike, transit pass, entertainment, education, etc.) –3 – not essential and not important (popcorn at the movies, the new music, video games, etc.) Shopping List – Rank based on the system –Cost and amount spent on non essential purchases – what else could you have done with the money (winners vs losers)

Point Out What students define as a need or want influences the lifestyle you may have and that influences how much money you’ll need. Because needs are essential, they are necessary expenses, but expenses for wants can be reduced or even eliminated. Distinguish needs from wants and to set priorities is an important skill that will help you start managing your money now and throughout your life. Use this skill immediately to start managing your money and plan their transition from secondary school.
