Loan Discussion Homework # 1 4 1. List 3 financial goals you have yourself in the future - Pay off my student loans within the first 7-10 years out of school (both undergrad and post-grad) - Being 100% financially stable to where I can invest with each paycheck (not living month-to- month) - Save for a downpayment on a house within the first few years out of school 2. Do you consider yourself a saver or a spender? Why? - I consider myself a saver. I have never been known to buy unnecessary things such as clothes, makeup, and objects. Most of the time, I only spend money on groceries, my dog, and weekend activities. I have always been a saver because I grew up in a home that knew what it was to struggle and dug themselves out of difficult situations. Although my family is no longer in a financial situation where being frugal is a necessity, I learned how to spend my money responsibly and how to save. 3. Will you handle your finances the same way that your parents handle theirs or do you plan to steward those resources differently? List one specific example of a similarity you would like to have or something you would like to do differently. - I hope to handle my finances in slightly different ways than my parents. As I previously stated, my parents did face financial struggle. As my dad was starting up his own business, it was either feast or famine and I believe hiring a financial advisor or accountant to manage the financial aspect of the business would have been very beneficial to the process. I, too, plan on owning my own company and plan on having someone specifically dedicated to making sure my company is running as efficiently as possible. One thing I would like to do similar to my parents would be to invest in rental homes. In times when the business was not generating as many earnings, it was very beneficial that there was a passive income also coming into the household.
Loan Discussion Homework # 2 5 (You will need to search the Internet for a loan amortization schedule and a compound interest calculator. You may use bankrate.com and investor.gov like we used in class or you may use other websites of your choosing.) 1. Upload to canvas with this homework an amortization schedule showing monthly payments for a loan with the following characteristics: a. Loan amount: $160,000 b. Interest rate: 7.5% c. Number of years: 20 d. Pmts per year: 12 *amortization was uploaded as another PDF on Canvas entitled Loan HW 1&2 Amortization* 2. Show how you would manually calculate the interest for the first two payments. No need to show how to manually calculate the payment, just the interest. You can get the payment from the loan amortization schedule. You can use the amortization schedule from #1 as a way to check your manual calculations. a. Month 1: $1,000.00 b. Month 2: $998.19 3. How much sooner could the loan be paid off if an additional $350 in principal was paid each month? (It would be helpful if you are using an amortization calculator that allows you to input additional monthly payments, such as bankrate.com.) How much would you be saving in interest by paying an additional $350 in principal per month (show the numbers you used to get your answer)? a. Originally, the loan was set to be paid off in March of 2044. However, with the additional $350 being paid on the principal monthly, the loan could be paid off as soon as November of 2036. By adding the $350 to the monthly payment, the loan duration would be cut by approximately 8 years. The original total interest cost was $149,348 and the shorted time decreased the interest cost to $87,791. This is a $61,557 difference.
