Financial Plan
A financial plan is a
comprehensive overview of
your financial goals and the
steps you need to take to
achieve them.
Budgeting helps you:
• Control your spending
• Meet your financial goals
• Minimize debt, and over
borrowing
• Feel financially organized
• Prepare for emergencies
• Save and give
Why is Budgeting Important?
Income – Expenses = Available
Funds
Available Funds: can be:
* Positive cash flow – money left
over after expenses have been
paid
* Negative cash flow – expenses
exceed cash flow; sometimes
causing individuals to turn to
borrowing and credit card use
