Savings Budget Project
SAVINGS- Students should consider how much money they will set aside per month for savings. Students should realize that they cannot possibly allow for every single expense before they happen. Unexpected expenses could come in the form of car repairs, medical care, or sudden travel. In order to prepare for these future costs (which are a certainty) one should put aside money in a savings account that can be easily accessed. A good amount to have put aside is $1000; and once that amount is achieved, increase savings to expenses needed for one-month and then three-months. Plan accordingly for these unexpected expenses so that borrowing or charging to cover costs will not be a necessity.
Requirements
• Identify the current interest rate on personal savings accounts at your bank or whether your employer has a company pension plan or contributes to an IRA for you.
• Students must allow for both types of savings accounts in their budgets and discuss their financial goals related to these categories. (see requirements below)
