The term personal financial statement refers to a document or spreadsheet that outlines an individual's financial position… at a point in time. The statement typically includes a personal budget, a breakdown of total assets and liabilities, 6 key financial ratio's, retirement calculations and goals. You DO NOT have to fill in anything on this sheet. All the information automatically pulls through from the other sheets and is a great summary of your current financial position. The statement can help individuals track their financial goals and wealth and can be used when they apply for credit.
In the context of personal finance, the time value of money (TVM) refers to the idea that money has a different value at different points in time. Specifically, that a dollar or rand received today is worth more than a dollar or rand received in the future. This is because money received today can be invested and earn interest, while money received in the future cannot. In summary, the time value of money is a fundamental concept in personal finance and understanding it can help individuals make informed decisions about their savings, investments, and spending.
