Answer guide Financial personality

I answered mostly a Money MaestroMoney is for enjoying, as far as you’re concerned.

Just like Kaz, you may consider luxuries such as new computers, cars or designer clothes as modern essentials, which can make it hard to cut back. You will have a great time, though – until your overspending catches up with you. You need to remember that credit isn’t free cash and that all your bills ultimately have to be paid. You might want to avoid temptation, by saving a small but regular amount to pay off your debts – and learning to say no.

I answered mostly b Visual StylistMoney is for sharing with others and for living a comfortable life.

Just like Will, you’re quite well organised financially but are likely to overspend when you’re stressed or unhappy – and you can excuse your extravagance if it’s designed to make other people happy. You might want to start saving little and often so you can afford to indulge those you love, drawing up a budget that prioritises essentials over treats – and learn to say no more often.

I answered mostly c Authentic DreamerMoney is for security – saving and investment.

Just like Sam, you’re more than capable of sticking to a sensible budget, making repayments on time and saving for the future. Consider learning about different types of investments so you can make sensible decisions with your savings. Seek advice from a qualified financial advisor if you need it.

Assessment activity 2: What are your strengths and weaknesses?

Watch the videos at screens 2 and 3 again.

Using the information you have learnt about yourself from the ‘Financial personality quiz’, make a list in the table below of what you think your strengths and weaknesses are in relation to savings, budgeting and spending.

When you have completed this table, think about how you might overcome any of the weaknesses identified. For example, Kaz stuck Bali pictures up all over her house to help her stay focused on saving by visualising her goal for a holiday with friends. It is important to manage your money to ensure you have all the things you need to do your job properly. We all have different values, needs and goals, which is why each of us has to come up with our own plan.

Strengths Weaknesses

Example: I am good at saving money. Example: I spend too much money on things that are not essential.

10

Assessment activity 3: What are your goals?

Watch the videos at screens 4.

Now that you know your financial personality and have identified your strengths and weaknesses in relation to money, it’s time to set some goals!

What do you want from life? Your goals may change at different stages or events in your life. Perhaps you have a short-term goal you want to achieve in the next year or two, and a long-term goal that could take you seven or more years to reach. For example, Will’s short-term goal is to travel around Europe with friends at the end of the year. Some of Sam’s long-term goals include taking his family overseas, and running his own business.

You may or may not have goals, or maybe haven’t even thought about setting some for yourself. Let’s go through the process of goal setting now so you know how to do it in the future. Using the SMART goal-setting process outlined in the online module, write down a short-, medium- and long-term goal in the tables below to work out what is realistic and affordable. List at least one in each category.

SMART goal-setting guide

Specific – What exactly are you trying to achieve?

Measure – What does it cost?

Achieve – Can you achieve this goal? Are you earning an income?

Realistic – Be honest with yourself. Is it realistic?

Time – What is the timeframe?

11

My goals

Short-term goal

What is your short-term goal? Example – I want a new TV.

What does it cost? Example – I need to save $1600.

Do you have the means to achieve this goal? Example – I’m earning so I can save if I work out a budget.

Is this goal realistic? Example – I can save $30 a week if I cut back on other expenses.

Tip:

Can’t think of any goals?If you can’t think of any goals for yourself then use Sam’s or Kaz’s goals.

Sam Short-term: saving for Christmas presents

Medium-term: saving a deposit to buy his own home

Long-term: retire comfortably at the beach

Kaz Short-term: saving for a trip to Bali

Medium-term: buying a small new car

Long-term: saving a deposit for a home

If you have more than one short-, medium- or long-term goal, you might like to re-create the SMART goal-setting process for your remaining goals on a separate piece of paper.

Assessment activity 4a: What is your budget?

Watch the videos at screens 5 to 7.

Now that you know your financial personality and have worked out your goals, it’s time to work out what your budget looks like!

Using ASIC's MoneySmart Budget planner, create a personal budget that’s tailored to you, is realistic, and that you can alter as your circumstances change. If you are not comfortable using your own personal financial data, you can change the figures. However, make them realistic so you can get a sense of what budgeting requires.

Remember – when budgeting, think about what you need (a roof over your head, food and water, health care and hygiene, some clothes) versus what you want (a big house, brand-name clothes, fancy food and drink, a new car).

Go to moneysmart.gov.au/tools-and-resources/calculators-and-tools/budget-planner and complete ASIC's MoneySmart Budget planner. As an alternative, you can arrange to access and download the Excel version at the same website location.

Tip:

Review your budgetCreating a budget is not a one-off event – review it regularly, especially if your circumstances change (increased rent, pay rise, etc.).

You will need to calculate your income and financial commitments using the same timeframe. It may be easier to use your pay cycle to budget. If you get paid fortnightly, work out your financial commitments, such as bills, by working out how much you need to put aside fortnightly.

Use ASIC's MoneySmart TrackMySPEND appIf you find it hard to work out your daily or incidental expenses, go to the App Store or Google Play and download ASIC's MoneySmart TrackMySPEND app (smart phone required) to track your spending over a week.

15

Assessment activity 4b: Review your goals and budget

Watch the videos at screens 5 to 7 again.

Now that you have completed a budget and have a more accurate idea of your income, expenses and how much you can save, review the goals that you set in Assessment activity 3. Do you need to review your budget to achieve your goals? Or do you need to adjust your goals to make them realistic? Go back through your budget and goals if needed.

For example, after completing her budget, Kaz realised that she was left with a yearly shortfall of $2376. This meant that in order to achieve her short-term goal of travelling to Bali with her friends, she would have to cut her spending on clothes to $100 a fortnight. This adjustment to Kaz’s budget meant that she would now be left with a surplus of $224 instead.

If you are like Kaz and love to shop, before blowing your budget, ask yourself the following questions:

Do I really need it?

Will I really use it?

What would happen if I did not have it?

Will I still like it next month/year?

If I don’t buy it now, do I want it enough to make a special trip later to get it?

Tip:

Review your goals with ASIC's MoneySmart TrackMyGOALS appTo help achieve your goals ASIC's MoneySmart TrackMyGOALS app allows you to set, track and manage multiple savings goals and visualise your actual progress towards them. Go to the App Store and download ASIC's MoneySmart TrackMyGOALS app (smart phone required). Enter your goals and the date you’d like to achieve them by. Find out how much you’ll need to put aside with each pay to get there, then watch your savings grow and your goals become reality.

16

Assessment activity 5: How will you save your money?

Watch the videos at screen 8.

Now that you know your short-, medium- and long-term goals, and you have worked out a budget, the next step is to figure out a savings or investment plan to achieve them.

Using the table below, identify some ways in which you could save money to reach your goals. In doing this it may be helpful to reflect on your strengths and weaknesses in relation to money.

You could also use ASIC’s MoneySmart Savings goals calculator. Go to moneysmart.gov.au/tools-and-resources/calculators-and-tools/savings-goals-calculator. ASIC's MoneySmart Savings goals calculator will help you work out how long it will take to reach your savings goals and the steps to take to put your plan into action.

One way to save How much will this save per week?

How much will this save per month?

How much will this save per year?

Example – Take my lunch to work

$50 $215 $2600

Tip:

Online bankingOnline banking is the best and easiest way to manage your day-to-day spending, as well as your savings. When using online banking, make sure you implement safe e-security practices such as keeping your account PIN and passwords private.

Revisit your budgetNow that you have identified ways to save money, you can use your budget as a tool to trim low-priority expenses to create an even bigger surplus.

17

Assessment activity 6: How will you invest your money?

Watch the videos at screen 8 again.

As well as saving money to achieve your goals, it might be appropriate to ‘invest’ your money in order to achieve your medium- and/or long-term goals. Investing money means that your objective is to make your money grow without taking unnecessary risks.

Having identified some of your medium- and long-term goals, make a list of some of the ways you could invest any budget surplus.

There are plenty of steps that you can take to grow your money and keep it safe. Go to ASIC’s MoneySmart website at moneysmart.gov.au/investing for some helpful tips on investing before you make your list.
