Welcome to FIN1010: Personal Financial Information!

 

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just pick money from the sky whenever you needed it? Unfortunately, it is not quite that easy. It takes planning, knowledge, and goal setting to save money.

 

FIN1010: Personal Financial Information is a journey to discover your personal financial plan. You will explore such things as savings, banking, investing, income, expenses, budgets, insurance, credit, and debt. Many factors, such as the economy, government regulations, personal values, and beliefs, determine a financial plan. What are your immediate financial needs or wants? What about in the future?
