Financial Planning for Beginners Case Problem 1: Harry and Belinda Johnson Consider Inflation and Children
Harry receives $3,000 in once a year in interest income payments from his deceased
father’s trust fund; therefore, every year for the next 20 years he will receive $3,000. However, 10 years from now, $3,000 will not have as much buying power as a result of inflation. As Harry and Belinda consider their future expenses, it’s important to determine how much their annual $3,000 will be worth in, for example, 10 years. To do this, I used the
present value table in the course textbook (2018, A-6). Using the table, we can determine that 3% inflation over 10 years produces the factor 0.7441. Multiplying that factor by the present value, $3,000, gives us a product of $2,232.30. Therefore, the buying power of $3,000 in 10 years, if inflation rises at 3% a year, is actually only $2,232.30.
Harry and Belinda are also considering their expenses if a child were to come along. Assuming the expense of a child is about $16,000 a year currently, Harry and Belinda want to determine how much they would cumulatively spend on a child over 18 years with a 3% inflation rate. To figure this out, I used the future value of a series of equal amounts table located in the course textbook (2018, A-8). In this case, future value is used because the $16,000 is going to be spent for the next 18 years. According to the table, 3% inflation for 18 years produces the factor 23.4144. After multiplying that factor by the $16,000 the Johnsons will spend annually, it accumulates to $374,630.40. Therefore, Harry and Belinda will cumulatively spend $374,630.40 on their child over 18 years.

Case Problem 2: Matching Yourself with a Job
As Juan joins the workforce, it is important that he does ample career planning beforehand. This involves finding his interests, skills and personal preferences, as well as setting practical goals to make his career a reality. If he really has a passion for sales then he needs to determine which work values and factors are most important; such as: Does he enjoy working independently? Is a job in sales going to support his financial needs? Is he willing to sacrifice a social life for a no-limits job? Does he work well under pressure? These are things Juan would need to consider before committing to a job in sales.
If Juan is determined to get a sales job, he should be sure it is a good fit for him. I would recommend he begin by taking an interest inventory. These are easy to access and beneficial in gaining insight one may not have thought about. He might try, for example,
www.cpp.com/products/strong/index.aspx
. He also should consider if he would rather pursue a career in the majors surrounding sales, such as languages, social sciences, accounting, or the arts. Ultimately, if Juan wishes to choose a career in sales, it is clear that he will need to better market himself in order to get a job. He could start by using professional networking.
“Networking is a fundamental aspect in developing a strong professional identity and furthering professional development” (Bodell & Hook, 2011, p. 588). Not everyone has the contacts needed to build professional relationships and utilize professional networking, but with numerous social media platforms at one’s fingertips, “many of the challenges involved in creating an effective network can be ameliorated by harnessing the power of the online environment” (Bodell & Hook, 2011, p. 589). Along with networking, Juan can further nurture his education in sales by applying for internships and volunteering.

Practice 1
Your friend is celebrating her 35th birthday today and wants to start saving for her anticipated retirement at age 65 (she will retire on her 65th birthday). She would like to be able to withdraw $80,000 from her savings account on each birthday for 20 years following her retirement (the first withdrawal will be on her 66th birthday). Your friend intends to invest her money in the local savings bank which offers 4% p.a. compound semi-annually. She wants to make equal annual deposits on each birthday in a new savings account she will establish for her retirement fund. If she starts making these deposits TODAY and continues to make deposits until she is 65 (the last deposit will be on her 65th birthday), what amount must she deposit annually to be able to make the desired withdrawals upon retirement?
Any intermediate steps should be rounded to 4 or more decimal places.
