Questions 61-63 refer to the following report.
Good Money Management
Some people believe that having a large yearly salary is the best way to become rich, or even just to
retire comfortably. However, millions of people with high incomes around the world are up to their
eyeballs in debt! How can this be? Well, here are a few points that explain this and which can also
help you get (or stay) on the right track financially:
1. It’s not what you make, it’s what you spend: it’s great to earn lots of money, but if you spend it all
on life’s little pleasures then you might end up with nothing left. A simple weekly budget for meals,
entertainment and other regular expenses can help prevent a lot of money from being wasted. Consider
the cost of items such as vacations and cars rather than acting (and spending) on impulse.
2. Save a little each month: Just as you should have spending limits, you should have savings targets.
Promise yourself you will put aside a certain percentage of your income each month for savings or for
cautious investment in the stock market.
3. Cut up those credit cards!: If you have a large credit card debt, that means you are an impulse
shopper who probably has a lot of gadgets and clothes you don’t really need. Leave the credit cards at
home, or better yet cancel them all. lf you really feel it’s necessary, keep the one with the lowest
interest rate for emergency purposes only. (A new cell phone doesn’t count as an emergency!)
Start by making small, sustainable changes in your spending and savings habits, and things will
improve for you financially no matter what your income.
