Personal Finance was written with two simple goals in mind: to help students develop a strong sense of financial literacy and provide a wide range of pedagogical aids to keep them engaged and on track. This book is a practical introduction that covers all of the fundamentals and introduces conceptual frameworks, such as the life cycle of financial decisions and basic market dynamics, in a way that students can easily grasp and readily use in their personal lives.
