 ABSTRACT

This study was designed to investigate how financial status affects

academic performance of the students enrolled in University of Cebu-

Maritime Education and Training Center for a basis of college tuition

planning. Emphasis was put on trying to establish the relationship between

profile of the respondents, parents’ financial status, school background and

academic performance of BSMT and BSMare students at University of

Cebu-METC. The study employed the use of correlation design to establish

the nature of the relationships.

The validity and reliability of research instruments was established

and data was collected from 50 respondents selected from Marine

Transportation Department and the Marine Engineering Department using

the simple random sampling method. To analyze the data, we derived from

the System’s theory input-output model developed by Ludwig Von

Bertalanffy was used to aim of establishing the relationship between

students’ admission points, parents’ social economic status, former school

background and academic performance of BSMT and BSMarE students of

UC-MET. This formed the basis of the detailed analysis and conclusions and

recommendations.
 Chapter 1
The Problem and Its Scope
Introduction

The concept of academic performance has become a source of

concern to researchers, especially as the academic performance of the

students is declining. Academic performance is defined or regarded as

participants ‘examination grades at the end of a given duration (term,

semester, and programme). It could also be seen as the level of performance

in a particular field of study. Higher scores indicate better academic

performance.

In an academic institution, these basic needs go beyond food, shelter,

clothing and energy. In addition to these four, the basic needs of a student

extend to the cost of transportation, health care, stationary and more

recently, the information and communication technology. Many students

have been finding it difficult feeding themselves because they lack enough

money to do so. The school cafeterias that impact of students’ financial

strength on their Academic Performance are supposed to serve at subsidized

rates are no more functioning. Even students who usually bring their

foodstuff need money for ingredients, kerosene, etc.

 One of the institutions in the country that produces entirely of well-

known professionals throughout the world is the University of Cebu-

Maritime Education and Training Center (METC). The Institution provide

state-of-the art facilities and equipment, refreshing and relaxing learning

environment and fitted with up-to-date technology with respect to the

course.

Through this, student’s academic performance would be the most

affected because in every corner, they provide most of educational resources

which could lead the performance of every students to be expected as high

as possible. But, there are circumstances that a student’s academic

performance can be greatly affected and that is the financial status of the

parents. In this institution, provided with what is the best technologies and

training facilities, in exchange for this is a high tuition fees.

Tuition payments, usually known as tuition and as tuition fees, this are

fees charged for instructors during higher education. Tuition payments are

charged by educational institutions in some countries to assist with funding

of staff and faculty, course offerings, lab equipment, computer systems,

libraries, facility upkeep and to provide a comfortable student learning

experience. The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) plans to keep

tuition hikes to 10% every year, according to this news report. This means

the figures above can only increase by at most, 10% each year.

Some think that the higher the tuition fee of a school, the higher the

chances of the job they can get after they graduated. Some also were

enrolled in an affordable tuition fee university because they think that the

key of a higher job opportunity is hard work and sacrifices, not the big

money that they pay for the tuition fee of the university they were enrolled.

There are some countries provide a free tuition pay in college but our

government can’t. First reason is that our government don’t have enough

budget to support all the college students in our country. Also the number of

college students in our country is very big and it is not shocking for us that

our government cannot give us free tuition fee. Because of the high demands

of the teachers the budget for this (tuition free college) will go to the

teachers. Some of the budget if the government were stolen by the

oppositions that’s why this is not happening. In other countries like Sweden,

Finland, Germany and etc. their government can give a tuition fee free

college because this countries focus on the future of the people living in their

place because this is the key of a successful country. Corruption is the main

reason why the government cannot give college students a free college.
Billions of money that were stolen from us tax payers. That billions can help

a lot of people especially for the education of the students.

In that case, determining the financial status who supports a student

enrolled in an institution which offers a course fully quip is the most

important decision to make and must be properly plan in terms of the status

financially. There are some student that may fail in its academic

performance just because he/she is more concentrate on how much more

money to spend or how much to save depending nature of the subjects which

have one have to spend for the lecture and one must spend for the laboratory.

When we talk about financial status, its how much part of the financial you

get from the income to spend on tuition fees depending on what kind of job

and how many members on your family that still dependent in your income

including oldest members of the family. The reality of this case is that the

student is more focused on something what might help him to overpass this

money problems like for example, applying a part time jobs in night and

night shifts instead of doing homework. But on the other hand, if the family

can offer enough financially there is no serious problem on that because you

can avail that is necessary for the lesson purposes and it’s on the student

how he handle his academic performance.

 Although that financial status is very important to determine first if its

suits for the best course, there is still a gap between a regular government

employee and non-government employee because even though both of them

can support a child for his solemnly chose course, the parent who have a

regular work can support easier what the child necessary needs without

worry of the child but also the no-regular too. And that is where after

determining the financial status of the students and how it’s affect the

academic performance we can base a proposal for a college tuition plan.

Planning is very especial when especially if the financial support is limited.

This could be a breakthrough if we can accurately plot how the financial

status affect the academic performance of the student.

Through research we can make a difference and start a new beginning

about properly planning what is the best for the student in terms of his

financial status in life because money really matters and this could be a

guide in order to save more and make things easier.

 The Problem

Statement of the Problem

The study aims to identify how the financial status of parents is

suitable for the course and the academic performance of the student basis for

a propose College tuition planning in University of Cebu-METC.

This specifically aims to answer the following questions:

1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of:

1.1 Age;

1.2 Occupation;

1.3 Gender; and

1.4 Educational Background?

2. What is the financial status of the respondents in terms of:

2.1 Age;

2.2 Educational Attainment;

2.3 Occupation/Kind of Work; and

2.4 Monthly Income?

3. What is the academic performance of the respondents?

4. Is there a significant relationship between the financial status and

academic performance of the respondents?

5. Base on the study, a seminar or orientation about college tuition planning

may be implemented.

Statement of Hypothesis

Ho: There is no significant relationship between the financial status

and academic performance of the respondent.

Ha: There is a significant correlation between the financial status and

academic performance of the respondent.

 Chapter 2
Review of Related Literature and Studies

Introduction

This Chapter contains the theoretical review, conceptual framework

and the review of related literature.

Theoretical Review

This theory is anchored based on System’s Theory Input-Output

Model (1956) by Ludwig Von Bertalanffy which states that finance is a

broad term that describes two related activities: the study how money is

managed and the actual process of acquiring needed funds. It relates the

interaction of individual components of the structure to the functioning of

the structure as a whole.

The theory adapted for this study was derived from the System’s

theory input-output model developed by Ludwig Von Bertalanffy in 1956.

The theory, according to Koontz and Weihrich, (1988) postulates that an

organized enterprise does not exist in a vacuum; it is dependent on its

environment in which it is established. They add that the inputs from the

environment are received by the organization, which then transforms them

into outputs. As adapted in this study, the students (Inputs) are admitted into

the university, with different admission points, from different social

economic backgrounds and are from various school backgrounds, when they

get into the university system, the management of the university transforms

them through the process of teaching and learning and the students output is

seen through their academic performance.

According to the input-output model, it is assumed that the students

with high admission points, high social economic background and good

school background will perform well if the university facilities are good, the

lecturers and the management of the university is good which may not

always be the case and this is the shortcoming of this theory. According to

Oso and Onen (2005), the interrelationships among parts of a system have to

be understood by all parties involved. This theory requires a shared vision so

that all people in the university have an idea of what they are trying to

achieve from all parties involved, a task that is not easy to achieve.
Related Literature

This section reviews the related literature on the concept of parents’

financial status and its relationship to academic performance.

Financial Status and Academic Performance

The financial status or the social economic status is most commonly

determine by combining parent’s educational level, occupational status and

the income level (Jeynes, 2002; McMillan & Western, 200). In most of the

studies done on academic performance of students, it is not surprising that

financial status is one of the major factor studied while predicting academic

performance. It is believe that low financial status negatively affects

academic achievement because lesser financial status prevents access to vital

resources and creates additional stress at home (Eamon 2005; Jeynes, 2002).

Graetz (1995) carried out a study on economic status in education research

and policy found that social economic background remains one of the major

sources of educational inequality and adds that one’s educational success

depends very strongly on the financial status of the parents.

Conceptual Framework

This shows the linkage between different factors and academic

performance. It shows that academic performance is an independent variable

is related to the dependent and controlled variables which are financial status

of the student and respondents profile.

Research Methodology

This Chapter outlines the manner in which the study was conducted.

The key components are the research design, population, sample size and

sampling technique, research instruments, procedure and data analysis.

Research Design

The design used for this study was descriptive-correlational. The

population for the study consisted of all the enrolled students of BSMT

(Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation) and BSMarE (Bachelor of

Science in Marine Engineering) department from University of Cebu-

Maritime Education and Training Center (UC-METC) S.Y. 2015-2016.

 Figure 2: Flow of the Study

Research Environment

The study will be conducted in the University of Cebu-Maritime

Education and Training Center (UC-METC). This campus in Alumnos,

Mambaling, Cebu City is one of the four campuses of the University of

Cebu. While other campuses such as; UC-Banilad, UCLM, and UC-Main

house varied courses, the UC-METC has only maritime courses such as

Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation (BSMT), Bachelor of Science

in Marine Engineering (BSMarE), and Catering and Stewardship (CS).

Living with its mission to produce world-class seafarers, the university, as

one of the leading seafaring institution has been accredited internationally by

DNV (Det Norske Veritas), NMD (Norwegian Maritime Directorate for

Training Center).

For years, the UC-METC has been producing graduates who mostly

work as seafarers on board international vessel. A number of graduates are

offered scholarships from the University’s agency partners and linkages.

With these standards and recognition the school adheres to the significance

of using English as its official language of communication and medium of

instruction.
Research Respondents

The newly enrolled BSMT and BSMarE students of S.Y. 2015-2016

are taken as respondents of the study. Since they have taken and passed most

of their English classes in secondary level they are expected to have

acquired a good level of proficiency on the use of the English language in

four modes of communication: listening, speaking, reading and writing.

These respondents will finish their 3-year diploma course and an

apprenticeship before they finally acquire their BS degree. The BSMT

students are those who are taking Maritime Transportation. They will be

responsible for the safe plotting and navigation of the vessel. The BSMarE

students are those who are taking Marine Engineering. They are responsible

of the vessel’s engine and maintenance. Navigation and Engine works are

mostly communicated in the English language. There will be 50 BSMT and

50 BSMarE students to be chosen as respondents on the basis of a simple

random sampling.
Research Instruments

The study used a researcher-made questionnaire to gather needed data.

Random Questions was used as it is one of the most common and

appropriate sampling strategies in quantity research. All the respondents will

fill the questionnaires. The researcher used the questionnaire because the

selected population is literate and time for collecting data is limited. The

researcher will developed closed-ended questions because they are easy to

fill, save time, and keep the respondents focused on the subject. The

selection of respondents was guided by the following criteria: male or

female student and newly enrolled in UC-METC. The questionnaires are

composed of 50 questions providing that the respondents be able to answer

by putting check mark below YES box or NO box. Since the study intends

to measure the respondent’s academic performance, questions have been

selected according to the level of the financial status of the respondents

which will be tested.

Research Procedure

After an approval from the Academic Instructor to conduct the study,

we asked; at random, students to fill up the questionnaire's that was made for

our study. In total, 50 questionnaires were distributed. The interpretation of

data was made by a licensed statistician, since the amount of data was

relatively small compared to other researches the interpretation of data came

with haste.
 Definition of Terms

Finance. Finance is the avenue through which students’ bills are paid.

If their finances are not adequate, the situation may tend to affect their

academic performance adversely. If, on the other hand, their financial needs

are met adequately, probably their academic performance may be enhanced.

Academic Performance. Academic performance is defined or

regarded as participants ‘examination grades at the end of a given duration

(term, semester, and programme). It could also be seen as the level of

performance in a particular field of study. Higher scores indicate better

academic performance

Tuition fee. The charge or fee for instruction, as at a private school or

a college or university.
Research Platform
 Summary of Key Points

The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between

financial status and academic performance of a student. The usefulness of

financial information in our study is conceptually and analytically evaluated.

Both statistical methods and regression analysis techniques are used to show

how the financial status can affect the academic performance of a student.

Perform an active financial analysis on how we can give information and

advice to the parents and students.

 CONCLUSION

Poverty significantly affects the resources available to students. Due

to this lack of resources, many students struggle to reach the same academic

achievement levels of students not living in poverty. The factors affecting

student achievement include income, source of income, and the mother’s

education level. Although many poor students score below average on

assessment measures, instructional techniques and strategies implemented at

the classroom, school, district, and government levels can help close the

achievement gap by providing students with necessary assistance in order to

achieve high performance in academics.

 Many students are stressed about their finances. As the cost of earning

a bachelor's degree continues to rise, many students worry about how they

are going to pay for their education. In fact, a 2011 report by the American

College Health Association shows that finances are the second-largest

stressor for students, falling just behind academics. Last year, more than

one-third of students said they would describe their financial situation as

"traumatic" or "very difficult" to deal with.

For this reason, the 2012 National Survey of Student Engagement

(NSSE) decided to take a closer look at college students' financial situation

and how it affects them.

Both Freshmen and Seniors Worry About College Costs

The NSSE survey reveals that all college students, whether they are

freshmen or seniors, have the same concerns about financing their education.

For example, about 59% of freshmen and 53% of seniors said they are

worried about paying for college. Along the same lines, 60% of college

freshmen and 62% of seniors said they are concerned about having enough

money to pay for regular expenses.

College Costs Affecting Students' Academic Performance

The stress students have over paying for college affects them in many

ways, but it is particularly apparent in their academic performance.

According to the survey, about one-third of both college freshmen and

seniors agree that their financial concerns have interfered with their

academic performance. In some situations, this was because students simply

could not afford required course materials, including textbooks. About one-
quarter of freshmen and one-third of seniors said they have not purchased

required academic materials due to their high cost.

Finances interferes 33% of Academic Performance

Diagram 1.3

However, not only do college students with financial concerns tend to

avoid purchasing expensive course materials, but they also devote many

hours to part- or full-time jobs. While this can help them earn some extra

money, it often prevents them from putting enough time toward their school

work. According to the survey, 60% of students who work more than 20

hours per week believe their job interferes with their academic performance.
Colleges Must Do Their Part to Help

Alexander C. McCormick (2012), director of the survey, told The

Chronicle of Higher Education that schools should use this data to improve

students' college experience. While most colleges already know their

students hold part-time, on-campus jobs, they must do more to determine

how many hours they spend working off campus, as well as how this is

affecting their academic performance.

"You can never do enough to understand who your students are,"

McCormick told the Chronicle. "The really hard work is up to the colleges

and universities, to figure out what the data mean and what they want to do

in response."
Objective 2:
To select the best alternatives in planning and saving money

Ten years ago, it was unthinkable that education plans will be met

with such hostility. When educational plans were first launched some

decades back, they were a much sought-after investment instrument by the

public. After all, education is one of the major financial priorities of Filipino

parents and the burden of a forthcoming college education cost is no

laughing matter.

The pre-need educational plan was crafted precisely to address this

concern of parents. The educational plan was a commitment by pre-need

companies to pay their children’s tuition 16 or 17 years later in exchange for

a minimum investment on the parents’ part. With an offer like that, who can

refuse? Filipino parents’ dream of being able to send their children to the

best colleges and universities was within easier reach. It became a huge

success that other pre-need companies followed suit, thereby flooding the

market with hundreds of thousands of education plans.

Just when the exuberance seemed never to end, pre-need companies

were suddenly confronted with soaring tuition when deregulation was

introduced in 1992. The return on their investment just cannot keep up with
The increase and this snowballed into the collapse of several pre-need

companies in mid-2000 defaulting on their commitments to their plan

holders.

Crunching down the numbers

In the minds of everyone, education costs today are outrageous to say

the least. Just ask any parents with kids currently in the tertiary level and

you’d get the same response—a wide-eyed, open-mouthed sigh.

Sixteen years later, the figures are not going to look any less.

According to the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), the average

increase for college tuition is 12.25% per annum. That means, should you

wish to send your child to either the top-tiered colleges like Ateneo de

Manila, De La Salle University, or the University of the Philippines (see

Table 1), be ready to churn out at least half a million pesos, multiply that by

four years, and that would translate to a whopping P2,000,000!

Below are the sample college tuition plan in table.

What are the other ways to invest?

Table: Tuition Fee Increase

With the public trust on pre-need plans dwindling, it is natural for

Filipino parents to look for other alternatives. After all, the need to send

one’s child to college is still there, with or without the pre-need companies.

Quality education is still perceived as the ticket to success by Filipinos.

Since prudent financial planning starts with a projection of the future

cost of college, the problem comes in when investors put too much emphasis

on the projection. Clients should be made aware that projections are just

Projections. “From point A to point B, nobody knows what will really

happen and if those figures will still hold true,” says Alijeffty “Jeff”
Gonzales, a Registered Financial Planner (RFP) and a consultant for

business development for Insular Life and Assurance Company.

While the figures are there to serve as guide, it is by no means the

end. If these multi-billion companies can hire the best actuarial in the land

and still fail because of conservative estimates, how much protection does

the ordinary Juan who invest on his own, has?

What can the ordinary person do then? “You can either invest on your

own or purchase a plan,” Jeff says. While either or both of options are

practical, there is one thing we should clearly remember, “Overinvest

towards the goal,” he recommends, “Gone are the days when you have one

product to match one objective. Now you need three or four to match one

particular need.” In this case, it is better to have a surplus than to have a

deficit.

The following are the two ways on how to invest and choosing life time

plan.
 Plan A: Investing on your own

Scenario

For example, if you’re going to work towards having P2,000,000 after

16 years without the use of interest rates and yields, you need to save at the

very least P130,000 every year to achieve the P2,000,000 mark 16 years

later. Even with the use of a 4% interest rate, you need to still need to save

P90,000 every year. Clearly, it is not an easy figure to save for salaried

employees. Surely, there is a better way.

Explanation

Gonzales cites that the recently issued corporate bonds offer very

attractive coupon rates with some reaching as high as 9% interest per annum.

The only problem with the bonds he added is that they mature after five

years. “There would be no matching after then.” At the given rate, an initial

investment of P500,000 pesos would be P1,900,000 after 16 years—maybe

enough to fund the college education of your child. The challenge after the

maturity is to look for an investment that offers the same yield.

Stocks are also another investment instrument one can consider but it entails

greater risk. Since the start of the bull run in 2003 all the way to the 2007,

stocks have been averaging a whopping 22% growth per annum. The same

P500,000 invested now has grown to more than P1,600,000 in just five

years! Sounds great but let’s go back further and imagine if you have

invested in 1997 with the same objective, the same P500,000 12 years later

is just valued at P260,000. That means your investment in those 12 years

didn’t earn anything and has to earn more than a 100% just to recoup the

losses and earn a little profit. Stocks may well be the best instrument to

leverage against skyrocketing tuition hikes but wild volatility can really burn

your hard-earned savings.

If you don’t have the resources to invest in either of the two, mutual funds

may be another option, Hector de Leon, RFP and First Vice President of

First Metro and Asset Management., points out, “A strategy you can employ

is to use the gains from a conservative fund and reinvest that into a more

aggressive one.”
Plan B: Purchasing a plan
Scenario

Renelyn Arellano, a law student recently got a variable life

insurance policy for her one-year old daughter. “When I was

offered this product by my financial adviser, I immediately liked it

and it was better than the education plan that was earlier offered to

me. The returns may not be guaranteed but it certainly have the

potential to match the tuition increase.” That is because the policy

is linked to the performance of either the bond or equity market.

While she is clearly aware of the risks associated, Renelyn is

nonetheless willing to take the chance.

Explanation

Since most Filipinos are risk averse and lack the time and expertise to

invest on their own, they tend to pass the responsibility to another company

by purchasing an educational plan or life insurance policy.

 By leveraging on these asset classes, an annual investment of P65,000

for the next 16 years at a rate of 8% can help the funds grow to more than

P2,000,000. An endowment plan is also a good alternative for those who

don’t want to take a risk with variable insurance. But given the benefits it

guarantees, an endowment plan naturally comes at a higher premium. A 10-

year endowment plan cost more than P1,700,000 but guarantees a fund of

P2,100,000in total living benefits that can be use as an education fund when

the child starts college six or seven years later.

Whether it is investing on your own or buying a plan, it is important

to stay focused on the goal. Jeff recommends a regular rebalancing of

portfolio to see whether the investments are doing well or not. That is why

there is a need to come up with a basket of three or more investments so that

there is a buffer or contingency in case one or two of your instruments are

not performing well. Financial advisers have always harped on the benefits

of a diversified portfolio. Constantly updating yourself on the current tuition

can also help.

 Filipino parents’ are notable for sacrificing and saving just to send

their children to school and often, at the expense of their own future. It is

undeniably a very noble act. Partnering with stable financial institutions and

objective financial advisers can make their objective clearer and more

achievable. Investing their hard-earned savings using a diversified portfolio

of financial instruments – mutual funds, stocks, insurance policies, and

endowment plans – can help them realize the ultimate dream of every

Filipino parent and save themselves the financial loss, psychological

anguish, and emotional heartache suffered by educational plan holders.

Table 1: Budget Plan Checklis

Personal financial planning is the process of managing your money

to achieve personal economic satisfaction. This planning process allows you

to control your financial situation. Every person, family, or household has a

unique financial position, and any financial activity therefore must also be

carefully planned to meet specific needs and goals. A comprehensive

financial plan can enhance the quality of your life and increase your

satisfaction by reducing uncertainty about your future needs and resources.

The specific advantages of personal financial planning include:

 Increased effectiveness in obtaining, using, and protecting your

financial resources throughout your lifetime.

 Increased control of your financial affairs by avoiding excessive

debt, bankruptcy, and dependence on others for economic security.

 Improved personal relationships resulting from well-planned and

effectively communicated financial decisions.

 A sense of freedom from financial worries obtained by looking to

the future, anticipating expenses, and achieving your personal

economic goals.

Diagram of Financial Planning Process

 While everyone makes decisions, few people consider how to make

better decisions. The diagram shows, the financial planning process is a

logical, six-step procedure that can be adapted to any life situation.

STEP 4
DETERMINE YOUR
EVALUATE YOUR
CURRENT FINANCIAL
ALTERNATIVES
SITUATION
 Diagram showing the steps on how to execute the fundamentals of

budget planning

STEP 1: DETERMINE YOUR CURRENT FINANCIAL SITUATION

I n this first step, you will determine your current financial situation

regarding income, savings, living expenses, and debts. Preparing a list of

current asset and debt balances and amounts spent for various items gives

you a foundation for financial planning activities. The personal financial

statements discussed in Chapter 3 will provide the information needed to

match your goals with your current income and potential earning power.

STEP 2: DEVELOP YOUR FINANCIAL GOALS

 Several times a year, you should analyze your financial values and

goals. This activity involves identifying how you feel about money and why

you feel that way. Are your feelings about money based on factual

knowledge or on the influence of others? Are your financial priorities based

on social pressures, household needs, or desires for luxury items? How will

economic conditions affect your goals and priorities? The purpose of this

analysis is to differentiate your needs from your wants. Specific financial

goals are vital to financial planning. Others can suggest financial goals for

you; however, you must decide which goals to pursue. Your financial goals

can range from spending all of your current income to developing an

extensive savings and investment program for your future financial security.

STEP 3: IDENTIFY ALTERNATIVE COURSES OF ACTION

Developing alternatives is crucial when making decisions. Although

many factors will influence the available alter- natives, possible courses of

action usually fall into these categories:

• Continue the same course of action. For example, you may

determine that the amount you have saved each month is still appropriate.

• Expand the current situation. You may choose to save a larger

amount each month.

 • Change the current situation. You may decide to use a money

market account instead of a regular savings account.

• Take a new course of action. You may decide to use your monthly

savings budget to pay off credit card debts.

STEP 4: EVALUATE YOUR ALTERNATIVES

You need to evaluate possible courses of action, taking into

consideration your life situation, personal values, and current economic

conditions. How will the ages of dependents affect your saving goals? How

do you like to spend leisure time? How will changes in interest rates affect

your financial situation?

STEP 5: CREATE AND IMPLEMENT YOUR FINANCIAL ACTION

PLAN

This step of the financial planning process involves developing an

action plan that identifies ways to achieve your goals. For example, you can

increase your savings by reducing you’re spending or by increasing your

income through extra time on the job. If you are concerned about year-end

tax payments, you may increase the amount withheld from each pay check,

file quarterly tax payments, and shelter current income in a tax-deferred

retirement program, or buy municipal securities. As you achieve your short-

term or immediate goals, the goals next in priority will come into focus. To
implement your financial action plan, you may need assistance from others.

For example, you may use the services of an insurance agent to purchase

property insurance or the services of an investment broker to purchase

stocks, bonds, or mutual funds.

STEP 6: REVIEW AND REVISE YOUR PLAN

Financial planning is a dynamic process that does not end when you

take a particular action. You need to regu- larly assess your financial

decisions. You should do a complete review of your finances at least once a

year. Changing personal, social, and economic factors may require more

frequent assessments. When life events affect your financial needs, this

financial planning process will provide a vehicle for adapting to those

changes. Regularly reviewing this decision-making process will help you

make priority adjustments that will bring your financial goals and activities

in line with your current life situation.

Life Situation influences financial status

 Table 1.1

People in their 20s spend money differently than those in their 50s.

Personal factors such as age, income, household size, and personal beliefs

influence your spending and saving patterns. Your life situation or lifestyle

is created by a combination of factors.

As our society changes, different types of financial needs evolve.

Today people tend to get married at a later age, and more households have

two incomes. Many households are headed by single parents. More than 2

million women provide care for both dependent children and parents. As the

diagram show, the adult life cycle —the stages in the family and financial

needs of an adult—is an important influence on your financial activities and

decisions. Your life situation is also affected by marital status, household

size, and employment, as well as events such as:

 Graduation (at various levels of education).

 Engagement and marriage.

 The birth or adoption of a child.

 A career change or a move to a new area.

 Dependent children leaving home.

 Changes in health.

 Divorce.

 Retirement.

 The death of a spouse, family mem- ber, or other dependent

In addition to being defined by your family situation, you are defined by

your values —the ideas and principles that you consider correct,

desirable, and important. Values have a direct influence on such decisions as

spending now versus saving for the future or continuing school versus

getting a job.

Diagram 1.1- Twelve Steps ways to save money

1. Evaluate Housing Costs

Many times it’s difficult to save money because housing costs take a

huge chunk of the family budget. In general, it’s best to keep housing costs

to 25% of your take home pay or less. I realize that in some areas of the

country this might be impossible on a small income, but there are always a

few very good deals available on rent. Just be diligent and keep looking.

If you own a home, you may be able to refinance your mortgage at a

lower rate and free up some money that you can put into investments or

savings. If you’re single, you can even take in a roommate or two and charge

them rent to save money on housing costs. That’s money you can put

straight into investments, IRA’s, 401k’s, or an emergency fund!

2. Plan Your Shopping

Never spend money on a whim or just because you “feel like it”.

That’s where a lot of money leaks tend to happen. The best way to spend a

limited income is to plan your shopping ahead of time using a written budget

every single month. That way, you spend your money on paper before you

spend it in real life.

When it comes time to buy what you need, you will already have a

plan in place and you won’t overspend because you only have so much

allotted for each category. When you approach your spending in that way,

you’ll feel like you got a raise because it frees up money that you were

wasting when you didn’t have a plan.

3. Buy Used Stuff

Buy everything you can used. Buy used cars, used electronics, used

furniture, clothing, etc. You’d be surprised at the great deals you can find on

stuff that’s been barely used. Sometimes you can find “open box” items that

haven’t been used, but can’t be sold as new because the packaging has been

damaged or opened. I get some killer deals on EBay on this kind of

merchandise all the time. I always buy used cars, and I’ve even been known

to shop at Goodwill and at yard sales. I’ve gotten $100 shirts for $4 at

Goodwill and $250 shoes for $45 (worn only once!) on Ebay.

Believe it or not, my wife even picked up a beautiful set of wrought

iron and glass shelves that someone had set out for the garbage collector that
 had absolutely nothing wrong with it. They just didn’t want it anymore and

were too lazy to give it away or sell it (price = FREE!). There are incredible

deals out there for most anything you want or need, you just have to know

where to look. Never pay full price if you don’t have to!

A small income doesn’t mean you can’t put money in the bank. ways to

save, plus awesome resources to start

4. Get A Programmable Thermostat

A programmable thermostat can save money on heating and cooling

bills that can free up money for savings. You can buy a basic model for

around $40, or get a more sophisticated thermostat that saves a lot more

energy. Angie and I have two Nest programmable thermostats in our house

that have cut our energy bills by about 10-15%. That means we save around

$30-$45 every month on our energy bills. SWEET!

Of course, you can always change your home’s temp manually too,

but a programmable smart thermostat can sense when you’re away from

home, and does a much more efficient job of controlling usage while
 keeping you comfortable at the same time. The cool thing is that even

though these thermostats can be a little pricey, they will more than pay for

themselves over time, making them a great investment!

5. Don’t Use Credit Cards

Credit cards keep you poor. When you use a credit card, studies have

shown that you spend 12% more on average because using plastic is such a

smooth and frictionless way to spend money. That doesn’t include the

money you also spend on interest and fees that come with using credit cards.

Your best bet is to go cash only and use cash in an envelope system along

with your monthly budget.

6. Sweat The Small Stuff

 Take your lunch to work, plan to do your errands all at once to save

gas instead of making multiple trips. Save your change and cash it into an

investment account periodically. Heck, you can even roast your own coffee

(you can also make extra money doing that, here’s how). There are always

ways to cut costs if you need to that will free up money that can go straight

into savings.

You will be surprised how much you can save when you get creative.

7. Walk Or Ride Your Bike

If you can ditch the car to go to the store or to work, then do it. You

will save money on gas and have the added benefit of getting more exercise.

It’s a win-win!
8. Find a Side Gig

There has never been a better time in history to find ways to make

extra money. I’ve written a whole series of articles that can get you started,

and I’ll be adding more “Money Making Ideas” over time.

9. Stay Out of Restaurants

 Of course, it’s ok to eat out occasionally, but making eating out a regular

habit can add up very quickly. Restaurant food costs at least 4x more than a

homemade meal would cost. That multiple goes even higher at more

expensive restaurants. If you want to save money and still have a nice meal

with friends, host a potluck at your house and have everyone bring a dish.

You’ll have just as much fun for a fraction of the cost.

10.Plan Your Meals

You can save money using meal planning apps or even a paid service like

Emeals.com. Planning your meals ahead of time allows you to better plan

your grocery list, thereby spending less on food and saving much more than

the service costs.

11.Get Rid of Cable TV

This is one of the more common suggestions you’ll find, but it’s also

one of the most effective. Get rid of your cable bill and save money for your

future instead. You can still get the free broadcast channels and enjoy plenty

of good programming and all the news you need. It could also have the side

benefit of freeing up some extra time to work on a side gig orincrease your

skills for your present job so you can get a raise or promotion.
12.Use Coupons

Using coupons to buy groceries and necessities can save you a large

amount of money, especially if you know where to find the best coupons.

You can save even more by going to stores that double your coupons, as

well as using that store’s discount card along with the coupons.

Creating Budget Plan using Spreadsheet

Using spreadsheets to help you plan your budget can be useful

because it can help with complex calculations and you can see at a glance

incomings and outgoings. It also means that any changes to figures can be

automatically updated in calculations by the spreadsheet so that it does all

the hard work.

Using a budget in this way can be used for many different things such as

preparing for Christmas.

This guide shows you how to create a budget spreadsheet in Microsoft

Excel.

You’ll need:

 A computer with Excel installed

Follow these step-by-step instructions to create a budget spreadsheet

using Excel
Step 1: Open up Excel so that you have a blank spreadsheet.

Step 2: The spreadsheet needs to have information put in it, to calculate the

figures for your budget. For a simple budget, we need to put in figures for

‘income’ and ‘expenditure’ (outgoings). Excel will total up the income and

expenditure for you.

Step 3: Put in the months over which you want to budget to run. Type each

month in an individual cell along one row of the spreadsheet.

Step 4: Then, put in a heading for your income and then below this any sub-

headings for the type of income you receive, for example salary, pension,

benefits.
Step 5: Now we need to add your expenditure. In the same column that you

have typed your income types, you need to add types of expenditure such as

rent or mortgage payments, utility bills, shopping, leisure, TV licence,

savings and so on.

Step 6: Once you have these headings in your spreadsheet, you can start to

put in the calculations so that when you put in figures at a later date, Excel

will calculate any totals automatically.

Step 7: Click on the cell where you want the total to be.

Step 8: Then, click Autosum in the menu ribbon.

Step 9: Click and drag on the cells that you wish to be included in this total,

so that the cells are highlighted. Click Enter.

Step 10: Once you have the formula in the first cell, you can now copy that

cell and paste it into all the other cells that require the same formula.
Step 11: Now you need to do a total for outgoings, repeat the steps above

under your 'Expenditure' section.

Step 12: You may also want to know the difference between your income

and your outgoings. To calculate this figure, click on the cell where you

want this total – the surplus – to be shown. Then, click Autosum and click

on the first figure you want to include in your calculation, in this case it’s the

income Total. Now press the minus (-) key on your keyboard. Now press

the Ctrl key on the keyboard and whilst holding it down, choose the second

number you wish to include. In this case, the expenditure 'Total'.

Click Enter to complete the calculation.

Step 13: Again, copy this calculation along the whole row.

Step 14: Now, you need to add in figures for your specific income and

expenditure, and Excel will calculate the totals. You may also wish to use

formatting functions like bold or italic to make your budget spreadsheet

clearer and more attractive.
