This statement should be reviewed to determine which assets 是 available to achieve the goals you listed above. If most of your net worth is tied up in your home 而且 personal use assets (such as furniture 而且 cars), 你可能无法实现你的目标. 为了实现你的目标,你可以投资哪些资产? 它们足够吗? 如果不是, you may 需要 to liquidate other assets or start a savings plan out of your cash flow to come up with the necessary funds. 确定你的现金流Once you've completed the net worth statement, fill in the cash flow statement below. 这会让你估计出你每年挣多少钱——你的薪水, 投资收入, 还有退休收入和你目前的开支. 填写这张表格, it will help to have on h而且 your check register 而且 one year's worth of credit card receipts. Here's why the cash flow statement is so important: once you know how much is coming in 而且 how much of it is going out in the form of expenses, you can start to make adjustments in your discretionary expenses in order to meet your saving 而且 investment goals. 现金流量表 期:
有多少现金流可用于为上述目标积累资产? Is it sufficient in combination with your available assets from your net worth statement? 如果不是, you 需要 to examine the above expenses in detail 而且 cut back on those which 是 discretionary until sufficient cash flow is identified. 计划实现你的目标现在你知道了你的目标是什么,也对你的财务资源有了一个概念, 是时候开始制定计划了. 金融安全网确定你在灾难或紧急情况下需要的资金. 这种意外事件的费用来自保险和应急基金. 应急基金You should have a fund of three to six months (we'll leave the number of months to your judgment) worth of living expenses to tide you over in case you lose your job or have unexpected bills. The emergency fund should be kept in an accessible account: a money market account is good for this purpose. 人寿保险确保你的保险范围足够. 你应该有足够的保险, should a catastrophe occur to ensure your family would continue to enjoy the same level of income it does currently. 残障保险Disability insurance is intended to replace lost income due to the occurrence of illness or accident. 考虑一下你是否需要为你的家人提供保险.

(Don't bother accounting for inflation right now; this is just an estimate.) 然后填写“手头金额”i.e.,即你已为此目的储蓄的金额. 例如, 如果你有10美元,在共同基金个人退休账户里, 你可能希望把这笔钱分配到你的退休储蓄中. 接下来,写下“仍然需要的金额”.然后,填写“到目标日期的年份”,即.e.也就是你想实现目标的那一年. 最后, 输入“年度储蓄计划”," the amount you 需要 to save each year (the "Amount Still Needed" divided by the "Years to 目标日期").
把“年度储蓄计划”加起来.e.在最右边一栏是你每年需要存的金额. Look back at the "Savings" amount in the expense portion of your cash flow statement (above). 有多少 是 你目前在存钱? 这个和你比起来怎么样 需要 为了实现你的目标而存钱? 大多数人发现他们储蓄的金额是不够的.
你可能也想重新审视一下你的目标. 也许需要修改它们,或者需要推迟目标日期. 把计划付诸行动制定储蓄计划. 你将如何节省你的目标金额? 你会从工资中扣除吗? 你会每月把它们存入储蓄账户吗? Once you've accumulated a chunk of savings for each goal, you'll 需要 an investment strategy. 对于每个目标,确定你愿意用你的储蓄承担多大的风险. 这取决于你能承受多少损失, 目标是多么重要啊, 以及你自己的风险偏好. 你最近可能读过资产配置的内容, 而且 wondered whether an investor such as yourself 需要ed to worry about this concept. 答案是肯定的. 资产配置-不是基金或证券选择, not market timing - is the most important factor in determining how much money you make on your investments. 事实上, 根据诺贝尔奖得主的研究, asset allocation the type or class of security owned - determines 90 percent of the return. 剩下的10%的回报取决于具体的股票, 债券, 或者你选择共同基金, 当你决定买的时候.
