Notes de l'éditeur
The pressing need for financial education comes from two areas.
Deterioration of personal finances.
Living beyond means,
Credit card debt, and
Risky investments.
Proliferation of new, and often complex, financial products that demand more financial expertise of consumers. Add to that the turbulent market conditions and changing tax laws
Financial planning is a process laid down to help an investor reach from the current financial position to the desired financial position. As we can see in this slide, the process, like any other process, has certain steps. These steps are:
Determine current financial situation
Develop financial goals
Identify alternative courses of action
Evaluate alternatives
Consider:
Life situation
Personal values
Economic factors
Assess:
Risk
Opportunity cost
Create and implement financial action plan
Review and revise the financial plan
Your Parents were right: money doesn’t grow on trees. It actually grows on other money – which is where we get the old saying, “It takes money to make money”. Money does have an amazing ability to make more money. The good news is it doesn’t take much money to make this happen.
Savings to investing
Saving is what people usually do to meet short term goals. Your money is very safe in a savings account, and it is usually earning a small amount of interest. It’s also easy for you to get to your money when you need
Investing means you’re setting your money aside for longer – term goals. There’s no guarantee that the money you invest will grow. In fact, it is normal for investments to rise and fall in value over time. But in the long run, investments can earn a lot more than you can usually make in a savings account
For one, saving or investing money for your financial goals makes you less tempted to spend it. But the best reason for investing is that your money is actually making money for you. Any interest or investment gains get you that much closer to your financial goals. And you didn’t have to do anything for it!
Start saving early and you'll be prepared when you need it, whether you're saving for a home, a child's education, or your retirement. If you start saving in your 20s, you'll be off to a great start. If you don't, you'll play catch-up for the rest of your life
Youngsters have an advantage that older people don’t have: time. When they understand this concept and use time in their favour, young people have a much better chance of pursuing their dreams and reaching their financial goals
Anil and Sunil, twin brothers, started working in the same year.
Anil started saving Rs. 50,000 every year from the age of 25 years till the age of 35. He did not save anything thereafter, but also did not touch the savings till his retirement age. Earning the average rate of return of 10% p.a., he accumulated a sum of over Rs. 86 lacs at the age of 60 years by saving Rs. 5 lacs.
Sunil wanted to enjoy life and he spent all he earned. He did not save anything initially. He started saving Rs. 50,000 every year at the age of 35 years and continued this till 60 years. Earning at the rate of return of 10% p.a., he accumulated little over Rs. 49 lacs by saving Rs. 12.50 lacs.
In spite of saving more money (Rs. 12.50 lacs against Rs. 5 lacs), Sunil ended up with less money at retirement.
The earlier one starts, the better it is. As the popular saying goes, early bird catches the worm.

The key is discipline. Is it possible to cut your spending by 10% every year? Put that savings into some well planned diversified portfolio of investments. This portfolio will help you with funding your large financial goals like your retirement funding, purchase of a house, educating your children
In order to decide how much is that 10%, you need to take the first step in financial planning
Exercise: List the five goals you have in life
Ask the participants to write down their life’s goals. You need to explain what goals mean.
Goals can be defined as things we want to achieve in life. Give some examples
Goals are statements about where you want to end up.
Goals should be SMART:
Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Realistic
Time bound
Goals come from your values. What you believe is important, will lead you to choose certain goals. Write down your goals. You are more committed to goals when you write them down.
Retirement is a situation when your earning stops but the expenses continue. It is one of the most important goals in one’s life.
Exercise: Ask the participants to list down 5 ways in which retirement planning was done 30 years ago
Exercise: Ask the participants to list down 5 things that they need to do for their retirement planning
The first step in your financial planning is budgeting. Budgeting is a process for tracking, planning and controlling the inflow and outflow of income. It entails identifying all the sources of income and taking into account all current and future expenses, with an aim to meet an individual’s financial goals. The primary aim of a budget planner is to ensure savings after the allocation for spending.
Realize that unexpected things come up in life. You may have to break your budget plan, or reconstruct it, occasionally. However try to avoid debt to cover the shortage and stick to your budget as much as possible.
Budgets may go off track at times due to some sudden unforeseen incident. However, by having budgets, we know where we should have been and where we are, so the corrective measures can be directed in that direction.
Benefits of budgeting -
It puts checks or balances in place in order to prevent overspending at various levels
Takes into account the unexpected need for funds
Helps discipline yourself
Helps one maintain his/her standard of living post retirement
For budget planning, estimating income (net take home per month) becomes the starting point. From here on we look at various expenses (non-discretionary and discretionary), debt outstanding, etc. The difference between these is the savings. Ideally this should be positive and as high as possible!
Steps for budget planning:-
Step 1:- Calculate your income: This should include income from all sources, including your paycheck and interest from any investment
Step 2:- Determine your bill for essentials: List out your essential expenses, which may include rent, grocery, clothing, telephone and electricity bills and fuel and car maintenance. Calculate the amount spent on each.
Step 3:- Note down your total debts, including interest payments on the same.
Step 4:- Determine your bill for non-essentials: Your list of non essentials may include vacations, gifts and trips to restaurants. Calculate the amount spent on each.
Step 5:- Calculate your savings: This is done by subtracting the figure obtained by adding steps 2, 3 and 4 from the figure obtained in step 1.
When you are planning your investment, it is critical that you take into account the effects of inflation on your investments. At its most basic level, inflation is simply a rise in prices.
See how the prices of various household items have grown over the years
Over time, as the cost of goods and services increase, the value of a rupee is going to go down because you won’t be able to purchase as much with those rupees as you could have in the last month or last year
Inflation is greatly feared by investors because it grinds away the value of your investment. Example:- If you invest Rs.1,000 in a one year fixed deposit that will return 5% over that year, you will be giving up Rs.1,000 right now for Rs.1,050 in 1 year. If over the course of that year there is an inflation rate of 6%, your expenses which were Rs.1,000 in the previous year will increase to Rs.1,060 at the end of the year. Thus even after investing your money for 1 year you are worse off compared to the previous year because the returns delivered by your investments has been below the inflation rate
Steps that an investor can take to avoid the adverse effects of inflation:-
Try to determine your “real rate of return” which is the return you can expect after factoring in the effects of inflation. In addition to being aware of the current rate of inflation, it is crucial to be aware of what inflation rate the experts are anticipating. Both the value of current investments and the attractiveness of future investments will change depending on the outlook for inflation. Also remember fixed income investments are particularly vulnerable to the effects of inflation. If you are locked into a particular interest rate, and inflation increases your earnings will not keep up and you will earn a negative return.
“High risk high returns” does not mean by taking high risks one is assured of high returns; it only means that the possibility of high returns exists. Conversely low risk low returns means that if one takes low risks….one should be satisfied with low returns!
Risk and investing go hand in hand
Risk increases as the expected potential return increases
Even “no-risk” products such as savings accounts and government bonds carry the risk of earning less than the inflation rate
It is crucial to manage your risk
The phrase “high risk high returns” must be changed to “high risk high potential returns”
While talking about returns, it is important to understand the concept of “time value of money”
Explain how interest is earned on interest and how this effect will keep accumulating over longer period of time. Take he number in year 2. in case of simple interest, the investor earns Rs. 10,000 every year on his original investment of Rs. 1 lac. However, in case of compound interest, he also earns on the Rs. 10,000 earned in the first year and hence the difference.
See how the gap between simple and compound interest widens as time goes.
In case of equities there is no fixed interest earned as in case of FD, but the capital appreciation by way of change of prices can be used to calculate the rate at which money has grown, e.g. Nifty was @ 1000 in Nov ’95 and is @ 5000 in Jun ’10. That is in a period of 14.5 years, Nifty has grown 5x. Using the formula for compound interest, A = P * (1 + r) ^ n, where P = 1000, A = 5000 and n = 14.5, we can solve the equation for R, which will come to be ~ 12%
Ask the participants, “Do you know the rule of 72?”
This rule tells you how much time is taken to double your money given the interest rate
@ 9% per year, your money will double in roughly 8 years
@ 10% per year, your money will double in approximately 7 years
72 divided by the interest rate = no. of years it takes to double your money
The choice of investment options will depend upon personal circumstances as well as general market conditions. Based on those two factors, one would like to strike a balance between the following three:
Safety
Liquidity, and
Returns
Asset allocation involves tradeoffs among three important variables:
your time frame
your risk tolerance, and
your personal circumstances
Depending on your age, lifestyle, family commitments and financial goals, the asset allocation will vary
A self-portrait helps you know where exactly you stand financially. A self-portrait comprises of knowing the details of:
Your financial goals
Your assets
Your liabilities
Your estimate of future income, and
Your estimate of future expenses
While one has to take account of the assets and liabilities as it is in the present; the goals, income and expenses pertain to the future. One needs to assume the rate at which the three change in value. You need to assume at what rate do you think your long term income will grow as well as the rate at which you think the value of goals and the expenses change. Remember the discussion about time value of money and inflation earlier!

A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that promises high rates at little risk to investors. The scheme pays the promised return to old investors out of the money received from new investors. As long as new investors keep coming in, the cycle goes on.
Refer pages 26 and 27 of the book.
The objective of this session was to impart knowledge about finances and financial planning.
Lack of financial knowledge can affect an individual’s or family’s ability to save for long-term goals and make them vulnerable to severe financial crisis
By incorporating contingencies in your financial plan you are ready to face unseen circumstances head on
People who are financially literate are reluctant to buy financial products that they do not understand and thus do not fall for marketing gimmicks
Financial education is effective at moving people closer to their goals
Helps people from overspending and inculcates a habit of savings and investments
You become more aware of questionable lending practices adopted by banks and other lenders to sell their products
Improves various other aspects of life
Give you better control over your financial life
