What is Personal Finance?
Personal finance is mostly about realising personal financial goals, whether it’s saving enough for short-term financial needs, planning for retirement, or saving for your child’s college education. Mostly, it depends on your income, expenses, living requirements, and individual goals, and the plan you make to fulfill those goals within your financial constraints.
