  • Q1
    Creating a budget can make you feel powerful! Why?
    People who budget earn more money, so they can live a better life
    You can't really budget unless you have an important job, which means that other people look up to you
    Budgeting is extremely easy, so once you set it up, you are done for good and can spend time on other things
    A budget puts you in control of your spending and saving, so you make good decisions and feel more confident

  • Q4
    Why is it important to be able to decide if an item is a NEED or a WANT?
    When you budget, you should make sure all your needs are met first, then you can decide to spend on wants
    Needs are worth spending money on, but you should never spend on a want
    Needs can be very expensive, but wants are usually far less expensive so you don't need to keep track of them
    You cannot create a budget that has both needs and wants included -- you need them each in a separate budget

  • Q9
    Why should you use your NET pay when creating a budget?
    Once you have your net pay, you can figure out how much to deduct in taxes, and then you can do your budget
    Your employer knows what your gross pay is, but you only know what your net pay is
    Your net pay is a more accurate picture of how much money you have available to spend or save
    Your net pay will always be higher, so you'll have more money to spend
