A Guide For Financial Planning

The concepts throughout this book are simple but they test self-control and patience, which in our world is uncommon because of the “want it now” attitude. Ramsey talks about how “personal finance is 80 percent behavior and only 20 percent head knowledge” (ix). This main idea is something Ramsey talks about and references throughout the whole book. Another main idea or as Ramsey calls it a “motto” that’s on each page at the bottom is “If you live like no one else, later you can live like no one else” (5). This is the theme that he refers back to on

In David Bach’s book The Automatic Millionaire, he reveals to readers a plan that could help them prosper in life financially and retire early without any financial stress. In the first chapter of his book his introduces to us the McIntyres, a normal married couple looking to retire early. After talking to the couple, Bach discovers that this is no regular couple financially. He finds out that this couple owns two homes without any mortgages, have absolutely no debt and have a net worth of almost two million dollars. He then investigates why this is so. He finds that the McIntyres have some guidelines that help them. They have goals instead of budgets, they pay themselves first, watch their latte factor or spending and make their savings automatic.

Herbert A. Simon, a Nobel laureate, suggested that a decision maker did not always make the best financial decision because of limited educational resources and personal inclinations. Because of this, we seek the advice of others to make better financial decisions. In David’s Chiltons The Wealthy Barber Returns, he explains why saving first, spending less, and investing your money now will help secure your financial future. In my opinion, the advice he gives are simple but well founded. After reading this book, I will put my credit/debit cards in the freezer, set up an automatic savings plan with Tangerine, and invest 5% of my pre-tax income. Even though you are probably confused as to why I’m doing this, hopefully everything will be clear

Despite the importance of finance, accounting, and consumer intelligence, these topics are typically neglected in high schools. Unfortunately, personal finance is often learned by trial and error. The problem with this method of learning is that it only takes one costly financial mishap to set you back for years. This is why I created a basic personal finance book for total beginners. With these concepts you can use the other books in the Smart Money series to further build your knowledge of personal finance topics.

The goal of this course is to get you thinking about personal finance issues at a point in your life when you still have time to benefit from the power of time in generating wealth to accomplish your other life goals. The financial decisions you make early in life with determine in great extent the quality of life you will enjoy later, especially given the turbulent and uncertain economic conditions. Money isn’t everything, but a lack of it will impact almost every aspect of your life and those who surround you.

Although a budget is one part of this process, we must learn to save money first. Specifically, in this book it says to set aside one-tenth of what we earn and save it (ch.5). Setting aside one-tenth of what we earn allows us to make more suitable decisions on what we do with the other nine-tenths to live our daily lives. After a certain point, the one-tenth that we save every time we earn grows more and more to be able to buy the things we want or even really need.

Since each of the students were on their own individual level, and none of the students were on the last level, all of the students would benefit from more instruction regardless of whether they did better or worse than expected. After completing the post-assessment, and the self-evaluation, I would be able to see what sort of activities the students were more engaged in, more interested in, and be able to begin some enrichment activity based on that data. The students really seemed to grasp and enjoy multiplication facts in the form of educational games so I would have my instructional actions try and focus around fun, active educational games. First, however, I would have an individual conference to talk to each student about their data, where they improved, where they were still struggling. For these students looking at individual problems, the sixes through eights times tables would get more focus because they are what the students struggled with more.
