Personal Financial Plan
In creating a personal financial plan of a person who is married and with two children first you should assess the financial position of the individual. Prepare a net worth statement which is the difference between all the valuable things and all the debts or in short, it is the person's assets minus his liabilities. For a married individual this may include their house and lot or vehicle or even businesses they own, and their liabilities could include loans they have made or insurances they are still paying for. Second thing to do is to calculate the debt to income ratio of the family. Is the income of the husband and wife enough to accommodate all their debts? Next step is preparing a cash flow analysis or in other words the family's budget that will include the couple's income and the expenses of the whole family per month. An important factor also is managing your risks aka having insurances like health insurance for the family, homeowners insurance or life insurances. Check also if they have the lowest possible interest rates on loans, mortgage or credit cards. A married individual should also determine their future financial goal which is time bound and measurable: when to pay debt; establish educational funds for the children; or payoff the mortgage. Then, the individual should design a plan to reach his established goals and take that plan into action. Keep tract of income and debts, make sure to be in the budget or have enough emergency fund for uncontrolled events. Lastly, monitor the set plan. Keep tract of the progress in reaching the financial goals monthly or quarterly, update the net worth statement at the same time and be ready to make adjustments if the individual deviates from the plan.
