Verified step by step guidance

Understand the purpose of each financial tool listed in the problem. A credit card statement provides information about your spending and credit usage, a tax return summarizes your income and taxes paid, a personal budget helps you plan and allocate resources for future financial goals, and a checkbook register tracks your checking account transactions.

Recognize that planning for future financial goals requires a tool that helps you manage and allocate your resources effectively over time.

Identify that a personal budget is specifically designed to help you plan for future financial goals by outlining your income, expenses, and savings targets.

Compare the other tools to a personal budget. While they provide useful information, they are not primarily designed for forward-looking financial planning. For example, a credit card statement shows past spending, and a tax return summarizes past income and taxes.

Conclude that the most important financial tool for planning future financial goals is a personal budget because it allows you to set priorities, control spending, and save for long-term objectives.
