Presented By STATE BANK of RICHMOND Member F.D.I.C. C o n s i d e r i n g t h e monumental proportions of the problems inflation is causing, is there really anything the individual can do to fight it? A. Since inflation affects every individual, each person is almost in­ voluntarily committed to the battle and, as simplistic as it may seem, your most effective weapon is your own personal budget Personal financial problems are most prevalent in in­ flationary times, primarily because of the illusion that we have more money More dollars does not necessarily m e a n m o r e , m o n e y . However, the tendency is to buy more and improve our personal standard of living - a tendency which can have disastrous effects In budgeting for the present, plan for the essentials In planning for the future, if you really want to get ahead, try budgeting at least 5 percent of total income in savings. Next, add the comforts and finally, what's left for luxuries It isn't easy, but if you can stick to a budget for three months, you may turn the tide of battle. PAGE 17 - PLA1NDEALER - FRIDAY.
