MARDON One sure-fire way to be a killjoy at a party is to raise the topic of family budgets. Some people will look guilty and remain silent. Others will confess they tried to budget their finances but abandoned the plan within a few weeks or. months, They'll sound depressed. Only a minority within almost any given group of people will say they have a budget and their system is •working fine. The Gallup Poll conducted a survey some years apo and reported that 40 per cent of the families they polled claimed they were budgeting their finances. However, when questioned further, one-third of these families said they did not stay within their set budgets. Perhaps the problem lies in the word "budget - or at least the meaning attached to it. Many people are put off. by the word because they think it involves a rigid spending , regime and a lot of dreary bookkeeping. And yet countless thousands of Canadians in the new year will make a first, or a renewed, attempt at budgeting the family's finances. They might find the process less inhibiting if they didn'tguse the word budget but instead termed the process a "spending plan". After all, we all rather enjoy spending money • and when we do it according to a plan, then we're also being responsible persons. Having a realistic, flexible spending plan is the essential first step to achieving financial security. The reason why so many people don't perservere with a family spending plan Is that all members of the family don't become involved in the whole process. That process should start with setting personal financial objectives, both medium and, long term ones. These objectives should be written down, and alongside each record the amount of money it may take to achieve. For example, yolrr family may want to buy a summer cottage, move to a larger house or put aside money for the children to receive a university education. -If you can estimate what each of these items costs in today's terms, you should allow for inflation when calculating what it will cost in, say, 10 years time, Now you have the basics of a spending plan: what you need money for, why and how much. Your next step is to jointly agree as a family just how mow uwucy you should set aside as savings and investments so that you can fulfill your plan. Professional financial planners describe this step as: "Paying yourself first".' All too often Canadians, individuals as well as families, look upon savings as an afterthought, They put aside as savings anything that might be left over after meeting what they consider are all the necessary expenditures, it's the wrong way to conduct a spending plan, Your first priority should be to pay yourself, and then look after ordinary family expenditures. When it comes to the amount you should set aside for savings, a good rule to follow is make the amount a realistic one. If it's too small, you'll become disillusioned with the results of the savings element of your spending plan. If it's too large, you may have trouble meeting your other financial commitments and be tempted to abandon your whole plan. That would be tragic, as handling your finances by a plan Shows you have confidence in yourself .
