Personal Management 1 An Eagle Required Merit Badge Merit Badge Presentation by Robert Casto
Robert Casto casto.robert@gmail.com 513-759-0633 Troop 952 Dan Beard Council Cincinnati, OH Instructor / Presenter
Why Eagle Required Personal management is about mapping a plan for your life that will involve setting short-range and long-range goals and investigating different ways to reach those goals. Education, training, and experience all help make your goals become a reality. To achieve your goals, you will choose the best path and make a commitment to it, while remaining flexible enough to deal with changes and new opportunities.
Participation and Content • Participation is expected and encouraged • Don’t be afraid to ask questions • This is not a boring subject unless you want it to be. Your attitude will decide. • There will be a lot of reading and discussion, but I have some surprises too.
Disclaimer Any statements made today are the opinions of the instructors. We are not financial professionals and our recommendations should be carefully evaluated by your own research and discussion with a financial professional. IANA(L|D|FA|SB|N) I am not trying to sell anything.
Let’s Get Started  Pay attention  Have fun  Scouts are courteous and kind  Learn  Ask Questions – Even if it isn’t in the MB book
Introduction  How many of you:  Have a credit card?  Have made a major purchase like a car?  Have a retirement plan?  Know the difference between growth and income producing stock? Most people between 11-17 have none of these, or know anything about them.
Older means more responsibilities  For most of you HS graduation is just around the corner or a few years away!  Some may go directly to work, full time or part time, some may go to college!  Either way, you’ll be responsible for taking control of your life! – Managing money and finances – Managing time
Adult Handbook  Doesn’t exist, but personal management can help you succeed where others fail.  Just because you’re older doesn’t mean you’re wiser!  When you’re 18 you can sign contracts! – These are legally binding – “I didn’t know what I was signing” won’t get you off the hook if you make a mistake.  Many adults get themselves into money troubles through poor financial decisions. – Knowledge is power to control your future. – Must live with your choices and their consequences.
Lots of Homework  1: Discuss large purchase with family  2: Track your budget for 13 weeks  8: Track your time for 7 days  9: Plan a project  You will start the work here if you haven’t already and will have to complete this requirement later.  My email is casto.robert@gmail.com  If you have already completed, present to me at the end of class
Requirement 1 Do the following: a) Choose an item that your family might want to purchase that is considered a major expense. b) Write a plan that tells how your family would save money for the purchase identified in requirement 1a. 1. Discuss the plan with your merit badge counselor. 2. Discuss the plan with your family. 3. Discuss how other family needs must be considered in this plan. c) Develop a written shopping strategy for the purchase identified in requirement 1a. 1. Determine the quality of the item or service (using consumer publications or ratings systems). 2. Comparison shop for the item. Find out where you can buy the item for the best price. (Provide prices from at least two different price sources.) Call around; study ads. Look for a sale or discount coupon. Consider alternatives. Can you buy the item used? Should you wait for a sale?
 Pick a major item that your family would like to buy  Automobile  Appliance  Boat  Furniture  Vacation  You want to pick something that will take a while to save for  How long? Expensive enough so it takes 6-12 months of saving. Requirement 1a Item that is a major expense
