While in college, Pam Jenkins worked part-time and was never concerned about long-term financial planning. Rather than creating a budget, she used her checkbook and savings account (which usually had a very low balance) to handle her financial needs.

After completing college, Pam began her career as a sales representative for a clothing manufacturer located in California. After one year, her assets consist of a 1999 automobile, a television set, some electronic entertainment equipment, and clothing and other personal belongs, with a total value of about $8,200.

Questions

  1. List various personal financial decisions that Pam might be thinking about at this point in her life.
  2. What are some short-term, intermediate, and long-term financial goals that Pam might want to develop?
  3. Explain which sections of Personal Financial Planner sheets 1-5 could be useful for Pam?
