How Do Your Spending Habits
Compare With "Average'
If you're an "average" family,
you're probably spending 18 to
20 percent of your annual in-
come for food, and from 10 to 20
,percent for clothing.
',Statistics tell us that the aver-
age U. S. family is 3.7 persons,
,which, of course, is impossible,"
points out Miss Helen Miller,
University of Wyoming ~Exten-
sion home managemeent special-
ist.
'There is no average family
just as there is no average ex-
pen.diture pattern which fits all
families," she continued. It is
possible, however, to apply some
rules of thumb which will help
in managing money, she said.
Here are a few of them:
1. If you're buying a home, the
amoun.t should not exceed twice
your current annual income.
2. Upkeep and household op-
erations should not exceed one
'percent of the house's total pur-
~chase .price.
3. Your total debts, including
the mortgage should be no more
than 20 percent .of your annual
take-home pay.
4. No more than eight percent
of your annual take-home pay
should go for house furnishings.
5. An adequate emergency
fund should contain three
month's salary or around $1000.
6. It will cost you approximate-
ly 10 cents a miIe to operate and
keep your family car. If you
drive 10,000 miles this year, the
cost will be $1,000, including
depreciation.
