LONG-TERM GOAL (INCREASE FINANCIAL LITERACY) USA IS 27TH OUT OF 28 COUNTRIES!
SHORT-TERM GOALS • MORTGAGE TO INCOME RATIO • Should remain below 20% of household’s gross income. Most families need to save for a large down payment and purchase a much smaller home in order to make this goal. • TOTAL DEBT TO INCOME RATIO • Should remain below 30% of household’s gross income. To accomplish this, families need to reduce variable expenses enough to reduce debt.
