Setting Financial Goals
courtesy of SOAR
Is your dream to travel the world? Buy a house? Retire comfortably? It’s important to have financial goals, but it’s difficult to reach them without a plan. That’s why budgets are so important. Creating and sticking to a budget provides you with a realistic financial picture and a clear path to achieving these goals. Here are the steps involved in creating a budget:
- Estimate your take-home pay by looking at the net (after-tax) amount on your pay slips, as well as income from any other sources you might have.
- Calculate your expenditures. Include all your typical expenses, such as transportation costs, utilities, food and clothing, and other miscellaneous spending.
- Subtract all expenditures from revenues. If you have a surplus, aim to save as much of it as possible. If you have a deficit, you need to cut expenditures.
SOAR. Here for you.
Celebrating Girls and Women in Sports
First observed in 1987, the first week of February is a celebration of Girls and Women in Sports which recognizes student-athletes, champion athletes, coaches, administrators, and lawmakers committed to providing equitable access to sports for all girls and women. We are proud to honor our women student-athletes, coaches, and associates from the Athletics Department.
