Most Important Personal Finance Terms You Should Know

Not quite sure you’ve got a handle on basic personal finance terms? You’re not alone. Personal finance isn’t something most of us learn about in school. You pick up things as you go through life and usually learn by trial and error. As a result, it can happen that you run across a word in your financial life that you don’t know.

Personal finance is an important area of knowledge to understand, but it can also be confusing for those who are not professionally trained financial advisors. A basic understanding of personal finance terminology can empower you to make more informed and educated personal finance decisions.

Regardless of your age or earning power, it’s important to understand how common personal finance terms apply to your financial life.

It’s easy to get hung up on confusing terms when making a big financial decision. This practical glossary demystifies personal finance so that you can focus on what’s important - taking control of your money!

This practical glossary audiobook compiles a list of over 130 most common personal finance terms you’re likely to encounter. Every term is explained in detail, with clear and concise article style description and practical examples.

Understanding personal finance terminology, whether you have a dedicated financial planner or not, makes it easier to manage your money in a way that makes sense and works for you, and with no surprises due to lack of understanding.

Make Personal Finance Less of a Mystery

Not sure what a Roth IRA is? Uncertain about the Estate Tax? Want to learn more about compounding interest? Completely ignorant about anything financial? Then this is for you!

Understanding the terminology can allow you to make decisions more quickly and easily. With this knowledge, you’ll be empowered to take control of your financial present and future.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

It gives me a deeper insight and understanding on the investing terms and strategies. I didn't expect that some of it were so easy to adopt and looking forward to test it out as a beginner strategy. Cheers!

Nice . Information is great

Quite comprehensive. Assumes historical values to seed forecasts so maybe an issue for startups. Principles still remain sound and a working example of Goal Seeking and sensitivity analysis was very helpful.

Proficient in basic

This course was a great match for me. I'm already proficient in basic personal finance terms and have a base understanding of modelling from my management consulting background. This introduced me to the principles, got straight to the point and didn't spare too much sophistication. Thanks for putting this together!
