Applying A Balance Sheet On The World Of Finances

Despite the importance of finance, accounting, and consumer intelligence, these topics are typically neglected in high schools. Unfortunately, personal finance is often learned by trial and error. The problem with this method of learning is that it only takes one costly financial mishap to set you back for years. This is why I created a basic personal finance book for total beginners. With these concepts you can use the other books in the Smart Money series to further build your knowledge of personal finance topics.

This four-credit course is for students who major in finance. By the end of this course,

While taking the personal finance course this past spring, I learned many valuable lessons that will greatly assist me throughout my life. One lesson I learned is the importance of paying yourself first. To put this into action, I will save money in an emergency fund to have enough money to live comfortably for 3 to 6 months, in case of emergency. Furthermore, this course has taught me the importance of budgeting. Using budgeting, I will make a plan for my money, so I can avoid over drafting and bouncing checks. Another lesson personal finance taught me is to pay all bills and loans on time to develop a good FICO credit score, which is what companies use to evaluate the risk of loaning to an individual. Knowing this information will help me

From the standpoint of a high school student who has ambitions of going to college and into the career world as prepared as possible, I saw this class as essential. It goes over a huge part of what adults and college kids spend countless hours trying to figure out. Having said that, there are some chapters that seem more essential than others. Since you can only fit 10 chapters into one trimester, here are 10 most important chapters. Chapter two is a good place to start because while chapter one explains the process of financial planning, chapter two explains how to carry out that process which is more applicable to life. Chapter three, preparing taxes, is the primary reason why I took this class and is extremely important to the financial planning process. Chapter four and five are also important because they pertain to making real life decisions like picking a financial institution, buying a house, and buying a car. Still, in hindsight I hardly retained the specific information in chapter five. It would be helpful to quiz and review often on this chapter because I doubt I’m alone in the retention of info for chapter five. Chapter six and seven both are about the two forms of credit. As far as the conceptual parts of chapter six, most people (that are in this class) probably know how to handle credit wisely or could figure it out with ease. So, unless it’s very important to go over both forms, I think that just doing chapter

Prior to taking this class, I had very little knowledge on preparing taxes. Throughout the course thus far, I have been able to establish groundwork for building upon in the future. There are many different rules and situations that are treated differently in the tax world. I think I will definitely remember the basics in preparing a tax return, and hopefully some of the other situations such as dealing with a business and/or a hobby. Additionally, I will be able to build upon these ideas in my internship this spring.
