What is Personal Finance? 2
Personal finance is everything to do with managing your money and saving and investing. It covers
budgeting, banking, insurance, mortgages, investments, retirement planning, tax planning and
estate planning. It often refers to the entire industry that provides financial services to individuals
and households, and advises them about financial and investment opportunities.
Top 10 Useful Tips For Personal Finance: In the current global financial climate, we are all looking
for ways to save money. And even if you are not struggling right now, it is a good time to take
control of your personal finance, and prevent any potential problems in the future. For some
people, financial issues can do nothing but give you a headache. But you do not have to be a
mathematician or an accountant to understand how to take charge of your own personal finance.

financing is.
A company that is heavily funded by debts has a more aggressive capital structure and therefore,

company’s growth and success.
