Personal Finance

Personal Finance, 7th Edition, is a textbook intended for personal finance courses. The material uses a hands-on approach focused on the essential tools students require to develop their own financial plans.

Subject coverage centers on three core areas of individual financial decision-making: cash and credit management, asset protection through insurance, and long-term wealth accumulation. The text demonstrates how analytical planning principles connect routine banking and borrowing choices with broader future considerations like retirement and estate planning.

To support applied learning, practical planning principles are reinforced across the volume using a continuous running example, accompanied by a variety of end-of-chapter cases for student practice.
