Personal Finance is renowned for its hands-on approach keyed to the concepts needed to build your own financial plan. The text's 7 parts are all pieces of a financial plan, with Chapter 21 serving as the capstone. A running example throughout the book and variety of end-of-chapter cases reinforce the practical aspects of planning.

The 7th Edition is fully updated with recent financial trends, such as lower interest rates, changing salaries, and rules for credit card use. With workable examples throughout, the text is an active tool you can use to become comfortable managing your finances into the future.
