About the Program
Developing a personal and family budget is one of the most important steps in achieving your goals. Goals and budgets are not a one time or once a year endeavor. It is a tool to create success as you define it. Without a budget, families are at risk for possible economic chaos, much of which can be planned for, avoided or minimized. Getting your personal financial house in order is a key beginning step in readying yourself for those who want to start a business.
Participants will learn how to:
- Create budgets as a life planning tool
- Understand risk factors that can impact your budgets and plans
- Develop strategies to increase the likelihood that your budgets will be successful
- Physically create budget schedules
- Determine what to do when budget results do not equal planned targets
- Look at income and expenses as well as asset and liability budgets
- Determine which tools will be useful in managing and maintaining your budgets
