4. What is an Asset?
An asset is anything that is purchased or acquired for
the purpose of generating income in the future.
For example, a car would not be considered an asset
because it will lose value (in most cases) as the years
go by, due to use, wear and tear and so on.
Your home might or might NOT be an asset. Did you
purchase it to live in for the rest of your life?
Or will you be selling it before you can start to gain
equity in the house and feel the benefit of owning
versus renting?

6. What is Debt?
Debt is the total amount of money that is
owed.
Having $1 million in assets puts you in a
better position than having $1 million in assets
and $2 million in debt.
The solution is to possess Net Assets.

9. Planning Ahead
“If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.”
-Napoleon Hill
What things are important to YOU in relation to the kind of future you
wish to create for yourself?
More material possessions; better house, car?
A college education for your children?
Early retirement?
Your goals can be your goal posts to win big.
Decide on your goals so you have a realistic understanding of how much
things will cost, and set your goal:

11. Tips for Budgeting
Sit with your family at the beginning of each month and fiscal
quarter (end of March, June, Sept. and Dec.) and outline projected
expenditures. Pay particular attention to unusual expense such as
the holidays, birthdays, summers/vacation.
Compare how the expenses will match up to income.
List expenses in descending order from most to least, essential to
non-essential, so you can see which ones consume most of your
income.
Start looking for ways to tackle or cut down huge expenses like your
mortgage and utilities.
What are you labelling as ‘essential’ that might actually be only
optional? Eg, dining out expenses-if you cooked more each week,
how much could you save? What could those savings add up to
over time?
