, ANSWERS TO CHAPTER CONCEPT CHECKS IILL IILL IILL IILL

LO1.1 Recognize the keys to achieving financial success.
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

1. Explain the five steps in the financial planning process.
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

Answer: There are five fundamental steps to the personal financial planning process: (1) evaluate
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

your financial health to your education and career choice; (2) define your financial goals; (3) develop
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

a plan of action to achieve your goals; (4) implement spending and saving plans to monitor and
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

control progress toward your goals; and (5) review your financial progress and make changes as
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

appropriate.
IIll

2. Distinguish among financial success, financial security, and financial happiness.
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

Answer: Financial success is the achievement of financial aspirations that are desired, planned, or
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

attempted. Success is defined by the individual or family that seeks it. Financial success may be
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

defined as being able to live according to one’s standard of living. Financial security is that
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

comfortable feeling that your financial resources will be adequate to fulfill any needs you have as
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

well as your wants. Financial happiness is the experience you have when you are satisfied with
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

money matters. People who are happy about their finances will see a spillover into positive
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

feelings about life in general.
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

3. Summarize what you will accomplish studying personal finance. IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

Answer: Several things can be accomplished by studying personal finance. Recognize how to manage
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

unexpected and expected financial events. Pay as little as possible in income taxes. Understand how
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

to effectively comparison shop for vehicles and homes. Protect what we own. Invest wisely. Accumulate
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

and protect the wealth that we may choose to spend during our non-working years (e.g., retirement) or
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

donate.
IIll

4. What are the building blocks to achieving financial success?
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

Answer: The building blocks for achieving financial success include a foundation of regular income
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

that provides the means to support your lifestyle and save for desired goals in the future. The
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

foundation supports a base of various banking accounts, insurance protection, and employee
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

benefits. Then we can establish goals, a recordkeeping system, a budget, and an emergency savings
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

fund. We will also manage various expenses such as housing, transportation, insurance, and the
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

payment of taxes. We will also need to handle credit, savings, and educational costs. Finally, we
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

invest in various investment alternatives such as mutual funds, stocks, and bonds, often for
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

retirement. As a result of all these building blocks, we are more apt to have a financially
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

successful life.
IIll IIll

LO1.2 Understand how the economy affects your personal financial success.
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

1. Summarize the phases of the business cycle. IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

Answer: The business cycle entails a wavelike pattern of rising and falling economic activity as
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

measured by economic indicators like unemployment rates or the gross domestic product. The phases
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

of the business cycle include expansion (preferred stage—production is high, unemployment low,
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

interest rates low or falling, stock market and consumer demand high), peak, contraction, downturn,
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

trough, and recovery.
IIll IIll IIll

2. Describe two statistics that help predict the future direction of the economy.
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

Answer: Forecasting the state of the economy involves predicting, estimating, or calculating what
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

will happen in advance. We need to be able to forecast the state of the economy, inflation, and
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
