“How Full is Your Piggy
Bank?” Leader Lesson
How much money in your “piggy bank” is
influenced by many expected and unexpected
factors. Values, goals, personal choices,
major life events, lifestyle conditions and
needs (both planned and not planned)
influence financial planning. However, for
the most part, certain age groups tend to
have the same life cycle needs.

Despite your life stage, it may likely seem that
there is never enough money in the bank.
Therefore, you need to plan. Financial
planning will help you be able to make large
purchases without adding to the financial
stress in your budget, help you protect your
personal household against the unforeseen
loss of income, and in the case of successful
aging, help you retire with enough money to
meet your expenses. Budget development,
money management, wise credit use, and
consumer protection can contribute to
successful financial management.
