How do lenders evaluate credit?
• What lenders really want to know is “will you pay me back?”
• 5 “C’s” of credit:– Capacity (income vs. expenses)– Capital (net worth = assets - debts)– Character (credit report)– Collateral (can be repossessed)– Conditions (economy as a whole)

FICO Credit Score Calculation
Scores range from 300 – 850 and are a snapshot in time; your score can change in either direction depending on your credit report
![Page 5: Personal Finance in 30 Minutes Jean Walker, Director West Texas Center for Economic Education College of Business West Texas A&M University](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5517f2eb550346a2228b469c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
FICO Score Explanations• Payment history – 35%
– Do you pay on time? (Most important component)
• Amounts owed – 30%– Balance owed compared to available credit
• Length of credit history – 15%– Length of time since first credit account was opened
• New credit – 10%– Credit inquiries and recent account openings
• Credit types – 10%– Mortgage, installment (auto), revolving (credit card),
and other – all of one type is bad

balances– Public records: bankruptcies, tax liens, foreclosures, civil
suits, and criminal convictions– List of those requesting your file

How much debt is too much?
• Debt safety ratio:total monthly non-mortgage consumer credit payments*
monthly take home pay
Ratio shouldn’t be over 20%.
(10-15% is better!)
* Includes credit card debt, car payments, student loan debt, installment loans for furniture, appliances,etc.
![Page 9: Personal Finance in 30 Minutes Jean Walker, Director West Texas Center for Economic Education College of Business West Texas A&M University](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5517f2eb550346a2228b469c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Other debt ratios often used:• Debt ratio:
total debt total assets
(Financial planners would recommend 50% or less)
• Debt Service Coverage:take-home pay
debt service charges*
• Principal and interest on mortgage, car, furniture & appliance loans, student loans, and other installment payments
(Financial planners would recommend a ratio of 3.0 or better.)

How much debt is too much?
• Freddie Mac recommends that your monthly housing expenses not exceed 28% of gross monthly income and that your total debt payment, including housing expenses, not exceed 36% of your gross monthly income.
• Example:• Gross annual income = $48,000• Gross monthly income = $4000• House payment @ 28% x $4000 = $1120*• Total debt @ 36% x $4000 = $1440* – car pmts. & other installments
* prin. + interest + taxes + insurance

Cost of Home Ownership
• Down payment– Loan to value ratio (80% means 20% down)– Conventional loan requires 20% down– Special program such as FHA loans can
reduce down payment to as little as 3-5%• Requires PMI (property mortgage insurance) if
loan to value ratio is more than 80%
![Page 13: Personal Finance in 30 Minutes Jean Walker, Director West Texas Center for Economic Education College of Business West Texas A&M University](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5517f2eb550346a2228b469c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Cost of Home Ownership:• Mortgage payment• PITI
– Principal– Interest– Taxes (property taxes)– Insurance
• Example: $100,000 mortgage, 5% interest, 30 years
- 100,000 PV
360 N
.4166* i
CPT PMT = $536.77 (This is prin. & int. – add about $200 for taxes and insurance.)
* 5% / 12 = .4166

Car buying mistakes:• Don’t buy a NEW car !!!• Consider this:
– A new car loses 45% of its value in the first 3 years!– A car 3 years old is still a very good car – a used car is a
much better buy.
• Don’t try to lower payments by extending the number of payments !!!– You eventually become “upside down” and owe more
against the vehicle than it is worth.
• If you can’t afford the payments, sell the car.– Letting a lender repossess a car severely hurts your credit.
• Don’t believe “you are what you drive” !!!
![Page 18: Personal Finance in 30 Minutes Jean Walker, Director West Texas Center for Economic Education College of Business West Texas A&M University](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5517f2eb550346a2228b469c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Car insurance buying mistakes:• Liability insurance is required by lenders.• Buy more liability than Texas minimums:
– Texas minimum: 30/60/25– $30,000 for each person injured or killed– $60,000 total for all people injured or killed– $25,000 for property damage
• If your minimum policy limits don’t cover costs, you can be sued.– Current and future wages can be garnished to
satisfy a civil judgment
![Page 19: Personal Finance in 30 Minutes Jean Walker, Director West Texas Center for Economic Education College of Business West Texas A&M University](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5517f2eb550346a2228b469c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Buying Life Insurance:• Whole life vs. term life insurance
– Whole life accumulates cash value.• The premium stays the same and is higher to begin with.
– Term is only insurance, not an investment.• The premium rises over time.
• Why is term insurance the best choice?– Term is cheaper—you can get more insurance for a lower
premium.– The cash value on whole life doesn’t earn a high enough rate
of return to be a good investment.
• Do not buy life insurance on a child.

Why do people have too little retirement income?• They start too late• They put away too little.• They invest too conservatively.
![Page 22: Personal Finance in 30 Minutes Jean Walker, Director West Texas Center for Economic Education College of Business West Texas A&M University](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5517f2eb550346a2228b469c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
They start too late:
• Saving $5000 per year:– $5000/year for 10 years @ 6% = $ 65,904– $5000/year for 20 years @ 6% = $183,928– $5000/year for 30 years @ 6% = $395,291– $5000/year for 40 years @ 6% = $773,810
![Page 23: Personal Finance in 30 Minutes Jean Walker, Director West Texas Center for Economic Education College of Business West Texas A&M University](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5517f2eb550346a2228b469c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
They save too little:
• Savings per year:– $2000/year for 40 years @ 6% = $309,524– $3000/year for 40 years @ 6% = $464,286– $4000/year for 40 years @ 6% = $619,048– $5000/year for 40 years @ 6% = $773,810
![Page 24: Personal Finance in 30 Minutes Jean Walker, Director West Texas Center for Economic Education College of Business West Texas A&M University](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5517f2eb550346a2228b469c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
They invest too conservatively:
• Saving $5000 per year at 10%:– $5000/year for 10 years @ 10% = $ 79,687– $5000/year for 20 years @ 10% = $286,375– $5000/year for 30 years @ 10% = $822,470– $5000/year for 40 years @ 10% = $2,212,963

Handling problems paying debt:• 1st contact the issuer of credit
– Extension– Payment plans
• Debt consolidation (home equity loans)
• Credit counseling (CCC)– Many churches and other organizations do credit
counseling– Others advertising to do “credit counseling” are
often for-profits who take a fee and don’t help very much
• Bankruptcy
![Page 28: Personal Finance in 30 Minutes Jean Walker, Director West Texas Center for Economic Education College of Business West Texas A&M University](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5517f2eb550346a2228b469c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Bankruptcy• Can’t discharge:
– Student loans– Alimony or child support– Taxes to the IRS– Debt taken on in anticipation of bankruptcy– Certain suits for damages
• Chapter 7 – straight bankruptcy– All debts discharged
• Chapter 13 – wage earner plan– Must use this plan if your income is equal to or more than the median
household income in your state ($49,646 in Texas currently)– You eventually pay off all debts, but you have an extended time to do it
and your creditors can’t sue you in the mean time
