Personal Finance Overview
People’s income, in part, reflect choices they
have made about education, training, skill
development, and careers. People with few skills
are more likely to be poor.
There are two methods for classifying how
income is distributed in a nation—the personal
distribution of income and the functional
distribution of income.
Government
Government often redistribute income directly
when individuals or interest groups are not
satisfied with income distribution resulting from
markets.
Transfer payments can be cash or in-kind
(noncash) benefits (such as food stamps,
housing subsidies, or gifts between friends
and family members).
Government also redistribute income indirectly as
side-effects of other government actions that
affect prices or output levels for various goods
and services.
Income
There are four basic categories of income:
wages, rent, interest, and profit
(corporate or proprietors income).
The majority of income earned in the U.S.
is from wages and salaries—income
earned working for an organization not
owned by the worker). The smallest
amount of income is earned from rental
income.
Personal Finance Economics
SSEPF1 The student will apply rational decision
making to personal spending and saving choices.
a. Explain that people respond to positive and negative
incentives in predictable ways.
b. Use a rational decision making model to select one
option over another.
c. Create a savings or financial investment plan for a
future goal.
Rational Decision Making
A framework for understanding and often formally
modeling social and economic behavior. Rationality,
interpreted as "wanting more rather than less of a
good", is widely used as an assumption of the behavior
of individuals in microeconomic models and analysis and
appears in almost all economics textbook treatments of
human decision-making.
In short, this simply means that an individual acts as if
balancing costs against benefits to arrive at action that
maximizes personal advantage (choose the alternative
that best meets your criteria).
a. Explain that people respond to positive and
negative incentives in predictable ways.
• People will decide to perform an act if
offered a positive incentive
– Ex. Complete chores for an allowance
• People will decide not to perform a task if
offered a negative incentive
- Ex. Most people do not commit crimes
because of the fear of going to jail

Ex. (riding the bus rather than riding with an unreliable friend to
school/work).
Remember, people are motivated by incentives
(positive = reward; negative = punishment).

select one option over another.

a. Give examples of who benefits and who
loses from inflation.
b. Define progressive, regressive, and
proportional taxes.
c. Explain how an increase in sales tax
affects different income groups.
Types of Income Taxes
1. Progressive tax—the tax rate increases as
income increases, meaning the wealthy pay a higher
percentage of their earnings than people less well off
(ex. U.S. personal income tax); tends to reduce
inequalities in income.
2. Regressive tax— people with lower income tend
to pay a larger proportion, or percentage of their income
that people with higher income; the tax rate decreases
as income increases (ex. sales tax). Most sales taxes
are imposed by state governments.
3. Proportional tax—known as a flat tax, does not
change with respect to changes in income (does not
redistribute income from one social class to another).
Sales Tax and Inflation
Sales Tax
Inflation
• A regressive tax because
• Simply stated, the
it affects the lower income
rising in prices. When
people with regard to a
inflation is high the
great proportion of their
purchasing power of
income going to pay taxes.
the dollar declines.
• To protect this, necessities
(such as food, clothing, and
medicines) are put in place
to be often sold tax free.
• The individuals with
lower income suffer from
this due necessities of
basic living cost.
• The alternative is excise
tax or “sin tax” on items
such as alcohol and
tobacco.
• Some union workers
have contracts with
their employers to
receive cost-of-living
adjustments to
counter the increasing
in prices.

Credit Cards: Buy Now, Pay Later
Credit: Who needs it????
• The ability to obtain goods and services
now, based on an agreement to pay for them
later.
• Includes bank loans to pay major expenses
such as cars, houses, and higher education.
• It can lead to spiraling debt that can destroy an
individual’s or family’s financial health now and
in the future.
Are you CREDIT WORTHY???
• An important part of a being successful adult in the
U.S. is learning how to build a good credit history,
how to obtain credit at the lowest possible cost, or
interest rate, and how to use credit wisely.
• Factors that affect your credit worthiness are:
– Where you work, how much you earn, how much money
you have saved.
– What is your current expenses?
– How many people depend on your basic needs
(dependents)?
– How much you owe in debts?
– What property you own (collateral)?
Interest Rate (the cost of using credit)
Fixed or Variable
Fixed
• A fixed rate never
changes regardless
of your living
circumstances.
• Mostly on car or house
loans.
• Commercial banks/
Credit Unions
Variable
• A variable rate can go
up at any time
regardless of your
living expenses—
follows your payment
history, stock market,
etc.
• Mostly on credit cards,
title pawns, etc. usually
has an annual fee.
Difference Between
“Interest Charged” and “Interest Earned”
• Why? = profit for bank as a business
• Interest Rate: the percentage amount of
payment by borrowers to the lender
• Simple Interest: determined annually with
the original loan amount
• Compound Interest: future interest is
determined with the existing amount owed
• Compound rate is greater than simple
rate
Calculating Interest
Example 1. Simple Interest: The formula for
simple interest is I = P x r x t, where I is interest,
P is the principal, r is rate of interest, and t is time
period.
Simple interest for one year on $100 at 3
percent is 100 x .03 x 1 = $3
Simple interest for second year on $100 at
3 percent is 100 x .03 x 1 = $3
Total interest for two years = $6.
The account, therefore, is worth $106 after two
years of simple interest at 3 percent per annum.
Calculating Interest
Example 2. :Compound Interest The formula for
compound interest is A = P(1 + r)n, where A is the
money accumulated after n is years including
interest, P is the principal, r is the annual rate of
interest, and n is the number of years.
The step-by-step explanation for $100 for two years at 3
percent compound interest is:
Interest for year one = 100 x .03 x 1 = 3.00;
amount at end of year one = 100 + 3 = $103.00
Interest for year two = 103 x .03 x 1 = 3.09;
The total amount at end of year two = 103 + 3.09 =
106.09.

how insurance and other riskmanagement strategies protect
against financial loss.
a. List various types of insurance such
as automobile, health, life, disability,
and property.
b. Explain the costs and benefits
associated with different types of
insurance.
Insurance
An investment in your possessions
• The purpose of insurance is to provide financial
protection against different kinds of risks one
faces in life.
• It involves transferring risks to others.
• An individual or household has something of
great value and wants to make sure that, if it is lost
or damaged, it will be financially covered.
• The cost/benefit associated with insurance is it
covers what you might lose. The money you pay
to the insurance company (usually monthly) is
assurance that if your possessions are lost
(either in full or in part) are covered and can be
replaced.
How does Insurance work?
• When you buy insurance, you receive an insurance
policy—a written agreement between you and the
insurance company.
– The policy explains the kinds of losses the company will
cover and how much you pay for the protection
(coverage limits—maximum covered and deductible
amounts—the amount you must pay before the company
will pay).
– NOTE: The higher your deductible the lower your
premium.
• Premium-amount of money you pay per month to
be insured.
• Claim-requested payment/filing on what you have
loss from the company.
Types of Insurances
1. Automobile—Most states require all drivers to have at least
minimum coverage on their vehicle. In order to protect you and/or
the other driver.
Liability coverage—to pay for personal injuries or property
damage.
Collision coverage—to pay for any damage to your own
car.
Uninsured motorist—to pay for your damages or injuries if
the other driver if uninsured.
2. Health—designed to pay for medical costs, expenses, etc. It is
very expensive. One can chose different coverage limits. Usually
employers offer to their employees.
3. Disability—set up to help provide people with an income in
case they become injured or unable to work at a job. It can
provide up to 60% of a person’s income until they can return to
work.
4. Life—designed to provide people with money in case a family
member unexpectedly passes away.
A. Term Life—simply pays the money of the policy to a
beneficiary (family member money goes to). It is cheaper
and pays a higher death benefit but the policy is for a
limited term. NO CASH VALUE
B. Whole Life—more expensive and less of a benefit
because it builds cash value like an investment. It
provides coverage for your whole life and the premium
never increases. CASH VALUE YOU CAN BORROW
5. Property/Homeowners—coverage on house or other property
in the event it is damaged or destroyed, often it will include liability
(for personal injuries). NOTE: Business have comprehensive
liability which covers a much wider range.

Workers’ Earnings
• Workers’ Earnings—how much employers pay
workers for their labor. Their earnings determine how
much money laborers have to spend and save/invest
for the future.
• The amount of money one makes in the labor market
is due to the skills, training, education, etc. This is
called the earning potential.
• People who are financially successful tend to earn
more money for their labor because they possess
special skills and/or training.
• Usually, the highest paid workers are college
educated, have good communication skills, show
respect for their peers and authority figures,
conduct themselves professionally, and have
actively sought to improve their skills with
