Joel and Amber Smith are not unaware of these cash flow difficulties, but do not understand where their money goes and fight to establish financial targets. They have contacted a financial advisory company to help them establish realistic future goals and develop a strategy.
The Smiths face fiscal difficulties common to young families including saving for their retirement and kids schooling, paying down credit card debt, paying down (and maybe refinancing) their mortgage, buying a brand new vehicle, and supplying decent healthcare insurance. Students are tasked with helping them bring their finances under control and playing the function of the family's financial advisor. These can be used in different 75- to 90-minute classes, with Smith Family Fiscal Plan (A) covered in the midpoint of the course and Smith Family Fiscal Plan (B), merchandise 9B13N006, covered near the end. Alternatively, it may be used as a two-part important duty, with Part (A) as the first major entry and Part (B) as the second. Writers Brian Lane and Nathalie Johnstone are affiliated with University of Saskatchewan.
