Personal finance involves meeting individual financial goals, whether short-term financial needs, planning for retirement, or saving for your child’s college education. It all depends on your income, expenses, living requirements, individual goals and desires, and coming up with a plan to fulfil these needs within your financial constraints.
To make the most of your income and savings, it’s important to become financially literate, so you can make smart decisions.
