MANAGING MONEY
10.01 Identify sources of income and types of
spending.
You’ve all heard the phrase “Money doesn’t grow on trees…”
Well, where does it grow? In your bank account money earns interest and grows. You can invest and your money will grow. You can make a budget and save and watch your money grow.
Money is a material resource
Budgets can help you achieve short and long term goals.
Budget Example
Income is the amount brought home.
Expenses are the amount spent.
Earning an Income
Hourly Wage – Amount of money earned per hour of work. Can vary based on number of hours worked.
Salary – Set amount of money paid for a specific amount of time. Does not vary based on hours worked.
Hourly Wage OvertimeIf someone works more than 40 hours a
week or holidays, they can earn OVERTIME which is usually their normal hourly rate plus 50%.
So if they normally make $6.50 an hour, they would make $9.75 an hour overtime pay.
Paycheck Deductions
Deduction means to reduce.
Money is taken from the amount you earn to pay taxes and for benefits like insurance.
Gross Income vs. Net Income
Total amount of money before deductions is your gross income.
Total amount of money after deductions is your net income (take home pay).
Deductions
Federal and State Income Taxes – Government’s main source of income and is used to provide services, programs, and
facilities to citizens.
Social Security Taxes – (FICA) Provides for retired, disabled, and widowed.
Basics of Budgeting

“Budget Busters”
Give yourself five points if you have a budget. Give yourself five points if you have a checkbook. Deduct a point if you have ever bounced a check. Deduct a point if you bought something this week without
comparison shopping. Give yourself a pint if you bought a store brand, rather than a name
brand item this week. Give yourself five points if you have a savings account. Give yourself five points if you added any money to your savings
account this week. Give yourself five points if you pay your own car insurance (or part
of it) Deduct five points if you routinely carry more than $10.00 in your
purse or wallet. Give yourself five points if you have a method of recording what you
spend.
10.02 Factors that influence spending
Teen Living
A. Advertising Is a paid public message communicated through various
media that promotes the sale of goods and services.
Causes people to impulse buy (buy without thought)
Manufactures know their ad worked if you buy their product.
Ads are to convince you to buy something.
Ads with celebrities : Celebrities don’t do anything for free!! They are PAID to be in the ad!
Jingles and Slogans
Are to make you remember the product.
Let’s see how much YOU remember!Have it your way
Taste the rainbowEat FreshThink outside the bunIs it in you?Every kiss begins with KayRaising the barWhere you at?Live in your world, play in oursYou can do it, we can help
B. Purchasing practices
Decide where to shop, when to buy, and what to buy.
Comparison shopping means comparing products and prices in different stores before buying.
Have you ever impulse bought?
Impulse buying can be prevented by following a shopping list.
Advertisers are sneaky! They use cartoon characters to convince youngsters and celebs for older people and teens.
Deciding WHAT to buy:
Judge quality – Not just price! Judge the quality. Sometimes lower price is still good quality!
Suitability – Know what product you need before you go shopping for it.
Use and Care – Read labels. Would you want to buy a whole wardrobe of dry clean only?
Warrantees – written promise a product will perform as stated. Full vs. Limited
