Assignment 1 – Family Budget & Goals (Value – 15% of your final mark)
Part 1 – Develop your Financial Goals (see Exhibit 1-6 /page 12)
–
a) Identify the decision makers in your family and discuss what your goals are for the short and
long term – you should have at least four goals, which have to include at least one with a
long term saving goal, i.e. retirement or child education savings plan.
(Hint: one could be to complete your diploma!)
b) Each goal should be specific and have a time frame (SMART).
Note: If there is a cost to achieving the goal that should be indicated as well.
You may need to do some research to find out how much certain goals will cost.
Example: Travel with my family to Africa in May 20XX for an estimated cost of $20,000.
