The correct word is affect. Both words can function as either nouns or verbs; it depends on how they are used in the sentence.
Effect as a noun=consequence: The effect of famine is starvation.
Effect as a verb=cause a change: Food for the region of famine will effect a lower starvation rate.
Affect as a noun=emotion: His voice had a flat affect to it because of his depression.
Affect as a verb=influence: The consequences will affect him personally.

It is affect. Something that influences an object is the affection. The result of the change is the effect.
Example: you eat burgers. Burgers affect your health, because they make a change to your health. What will be the result of that change? Well, you may gain some weight and that is the effect!
Any effect has something that affects it. That's why some get confused when using the two terms. They are very similar in spelling and pronunciation, but if you practice different scenarions, they will affect your skills and the effect may be immediate (see the sources)!

In most instances, the rule "affect is a verb and effect is a noun" will serve you well. "Effect" can be used as a verb but it has a different meaning from "affect" as a verb.
Affect means "have an influence on, produce an effect on, concern, effect a change in"
Effect means "bring about, cause, produce, result in, have a result"
So: "The consequences will affect him personally."
An example to show the difference in the meanings:
A single glass of brandy may affect his recovery.( improve or worsen the recovery)
A single glass of brandy may effect his recovery. (bring about his recovery)

In present day utilization, influence is only a verb. result's both a noun and a verb. the distinction between both, of their verbal form, is that "influence" works indirectly and "result" works immediately. e.g. "the elements impacts my mood." "The administration effected a relief interior the style of workers." on your party, "existence-effecting" would propose the advent of existence, that's obviously not the point right here. "existence-affecting" ability exerting an oblique effect upon the way existence is lived, and that i'm particular that that's the meant meaning.

Although (and here's hwere it really gets tricky) affect can also mean an emotional state. "His affect was gloomy"
