(原文)Budgeting
Being a student means you will likely have very little money, a whole lot of expenses, and a bunch of pressure to get great grades. Besides your studies, keeping on top of money will be one of your biggest challenges.
In short: you’re going to have to learn how to live on a budget! Sound boring? It doesn’t have to be – but it is an essential part of succeeding at university. Why? Most of the cash you will spend is going to be borrowed money. Eventually, that borrowed money will have to be paid back.
Budgeting will help you be better prepared to pursue your goals.
Making a budget is not as hard as you may think it is.
A budget is basically an itemized summary of likely income and expenses for a given period of time. Budgets help you determine whether you can buy that afternoon Venti Latte or head home and make your own instead.
A budget provides you with a tangible, organized, and easily understood analysis of how much money you have coming in and going out. It’s an invaluable tool to help you prioritize your spending and manage your money—no matter how much or how little you have.
Get started: plan your budget
Let's start this process by organizing your money management into a few helpful steps.
預算
作為學生意味著你很可能沒有多少錢，同時想拿到好的成績，又需要不少開支，并且面臨不少壓力。不僅是學習，明智理財也將是你面臨的一大挑戰(zhàn)。
總之，你必須學會預算。這聽起來很厭煩吧?但未必是的——良好的預算是你大學成功的一個關鍵部分。為什么呢?因為你花的大部分現(xiàn)金都是借來的。而事實上，這些借來的錢總歸要還。
因此，預算可以幫助你更好地準備追逐你的目標。
預算并不像你認為的那么難
預算大體上是對你某個時間段內潛在收入和開銷的一個分項總結。預算幫助你決定某個下午是該買上大杯咖啡呢，還是回家自己做。
預算可以讓你比較容易地對收入和支付的數(shù)額有一個清晰明確的組織化的理解。它是寶貴的工具，幫助你優(yōu)先考慮開銷、管理好你的錢財——無論你身上有多少錢。
那么就開始準備你的預算吧!
(原文)Basic steps to making a budget
1. Gather information you have regarding sources of income or expense. Statements, bills, student loan assessments and even the money you got from your grandma for your birthday. You need to know what is going out of your pocket and what is coming in. The key for this process is to create a monthly average so the more information you can dig up the better.
2. Record all of your sources of income: self-employed, employments, loans, bursaries, grants, scholarships or have any outside sources of income be sure to record these as well. If your income is in the form of a regular paycheck where taxes are automatically deducted then using the net income, or take home pay, amount is fine. Record this total income as a monthly amount.
3. Create a list of monthly expenses. Write down a list of all the expected expenses you plan on incurring over the course of a month. School fees are not only what you pay for your tuition, but all of the fees you incur so that you can attend school. This includes a rent, transportation, insurance, groceries, junk food, utilities, entertainment, clothes, books, supplies, internet, photocopying, laundry: essentially everything you spend money on.
4. Break expenses into categories: fixed and variable.
Fixed expenses tend to stay the same (or close to the same) from month to month. They include bills such as your rent or mortgage, cable, Internet, utilities, fixed loan repayments and so on. These expenses for the most part are essential yet not likely to change in the budget.
Variable expenses change from month to month. They include things like gas, groceries, your daily coffee, eating out and entertainment to name a few. Variable expenses also include Occasional expenses – These expenses come up from time to time, such as clothing, gifts and vacations. This category will be important when you need to make adjustments to you spending habits.
5. Total your monthly income and monthly expenses. If your end result shows more income than expenses you are off to a good start. If you are showing a higher expense column than income it means some changes will have to be made.
預算的基本步驟
(1)收集信息。收集你的收入來源或開銷方面的信息。銀行結單、賬單、學生貸款評估甚至是從你外婆那里得來的生日錢，你都可以收集。你需要知道你口袋的開銷和收入。這個過程的關鍵是建立月平均表。這樣，你能挖掘的信息越多就越好。
(2)記下所有的收入來源。創(chuàng)業(yè)、就業(yè)、貸款、助學金、補助金、獎學金或任何外部收入來源你都可以記下來。如果減稅的固定薪資即凈收入是你收入的形式，或者如果你的家庭開支固定，那么數(shù)額是不錯的。將這個總收入記下來，作為每月數(shù)額。
(3)擬月度開銷列表。將一個月內所有可以預見的開銷記下來，列成清單。入讀費不僅包括你要交的學費，也包括上學涉及的所有費用。具體來講，包括租金、交通費用、保險費、雜貨費、零食費、設施費、接待費、買衣服的錢、書費、供應品費、網費、打印費和洗衣費——所有要花錢的事項。
(4)將開銷分類，分為固定和不固定。固定開銷：固定開銷每月基本一樣。包括租金或押金、有線電視費、網費、設施費、固定的還款等。這些開銷多半是比較關鍵的，并且在預算中不太可能改變。不固定開銷：這類開銷每個月都有所不同。包括煤氣費、雜貨費、日常喝咖啡的錢、外出就餐費和款待費等等。不固定的開銷還包括臨時性的開銷——這些開銷時不時會出現(xiàn)，比如買衣服、買禮物和度假。這類開銷在你需要對你的開銷習慣做調整的時候比較重要。
(5)總記下你的月收入和月開銷。如果最終結果顯示你的收入多于開銷，那么這是一個好的開端。如果開銷多于收入，那么你就需要對某些開銷做出調整。
(原文)6. Make adjustments to expenses. If you have correctly identified and listed all of your expenses then what you should be aiming to do is to have your income and expense columns to be equal. This means all of your income is accounted for and budgeted for each of your expense.
7. Cut spending. If you are in a situation where your expenses are higher than the money you are bringing in, you will have to look at your variable expenses to find areas where you can make cuts to your spending. Since these expenses are typically not essential, it should be easier to trim a few dollars to bring your expenses closer to matching your income.
8. Review your budget monthly. It is important to review your budget on a regular basis to make sure you are staying on track. After the first month take a minute to sit down and compare the actual expenses versus what you had created in the budget. Use reasonable estimates to create your first budget. Then, track your spending over the next few months. Jot down every purchase in a notebook, keep receipts for everything or create a spreadsheet. After tracking your spending for a few months, go back to your budget and adjust it if you need to. This will show you where you did well and where you may need to improve.
9. Plan for occasional expenses. Include room in your budget for expenses that come up from time to time, such as clothing, gifts and vacations.
10. Budgets are for saving too! If you have some money left over in your budget after you have paid the bills, add to your savings. Build an emergency fund for unexpected bills that come up (like a lost bus pass or a computer that breaks in January). The more you save, the sooner you’ll reach your financial goals.
11. Balance your budget. If you are new to budgeting, your budget may not balance the first time you try. You might have to look for places where you can spend less and make adjustments along the way.
(6)調整開銷。如果你已經正確鑒定并列出了你所有的開銷，那么接下來你需要做的就是平衡收入和開銷。這意味著你所有的收入都要計算在內，所有收入都納入你的開銷預算。
(7)削減開銷。如果你遇到了開銷高于收入的情況，那么你得審視你的不固定開銷，找到可以削減支付的地方。由于這類開銷一般不是關鍵的，所有少花幾個美元讓你的開銷更接近收入要容易得多。
(8)每月評估預算。定期評估預算是重要的，這樣便于確保你在跟蹤預算。第一個月之后，花幾分鐘時間坐下來，將你的實際開銷和預算開銷做個比較。對你的第一次預算做出合理評估。然后，跟蹤你接下來幾個月的開銷。用筆記本將每一次購物簡要記下來。保留所有收據(jù)，或者創(chuàng)建電子表單。這樣在跟蹤幾個月的開銷之后，再回過頭看看你的預算。如果有需要，可以再做調整。這樣便于看清你在哪些地方做得好，哪些地方需要改進。
(9)準備臨時開銷。在預算中為是不是的開銷留出空間，比如買衣服、買禮物和度假等。
(10)預算省錢。如果在支付賬單之后你的預算里還有多出的錢，那么你可以添加到你的零錢里。為不可預見的緊急開銷列出賬單，比如公交卡丟失，電腦在一月份損壞。你節(jié)省得越多，你就能越快地實現(xiàn)你的理財目標。
(11)平衡預算。如果你是剛做預算，那么第一次嘗試的時候預算可以不會平衡。你不妨看看哪些地方可以省錢，隨后做出調整。
(原文)Next step: Buying on credit
A credit card does not increase the amount you have to spend in your budget. You should keep it for emergencies. A good rule of thumb is that if you can't pay for goods purchased on credit within 30 days, then don't buy them.
You must be careful not to let credit become the method of attaining material gain before considering the need, the value, and means of purchasing goods or services.
If you still need to buy on credit remember to make regular payments – missing a payment or making a late payment can affect your credit history and can hurt your credit score.
You can protect yourself with a low-limit, low-interest card; many banks offer student credit cards. If you use your credit card in the right way you will build a good credit history that will be beneficial in the future when making bigger purchases like buying a car or a condo.
Tips on Using Credit
Watch your limits
Know what you are paying for
Avoid impulse buys
Make regular payments
Stop using your card if your balance is growing
Avoid taking cash advances
Always check your credit card statement
Keep your card, PIN and security code secure
If you have unexpected expenses talk to your bank about alternative products
信用卡購物
信用卡不會使你的預算開銷額度增加。信用卡應該用于緊急開銷。一條好的經驗法則是如果你不能在30天內用現(xiàn)金償還信用卡的賒賬，那么你不要買。
必須注意，不要讓信用卡成為你考慮需求之前獲取利益的手段，也不要讓信用卡成為購買商品或服務的方式。
你可以用低下限、低息卡保護自己。許多銀行提供有學生信用卡。如果信用卡使用得當，你就會有良好的信用記錄。這對你將來的大宗購買比如買車買公寓是有好處的。
信用卡使用建議：
留意額度、清楚你在買什么、避免即興購買、使用定期支付、結余增多的時候停止使用、避免預付現(xiàn)金、實時核對信用卡對賬單、保持卡號和密碼安全、有不可預見開銷的時候和銀行協(xié)商替代產品。
