Personal finance is an individual’s financial status. It’s about how much money you have, and how much you need. It is about managing your money – today and for tomorrow. Money is the currency on which all world economies function. Income – expenditure -bills- debts – savings: These are a fact of life. A constant for most is the endeavor to tip the scales in favor of savings.

Successful financial management includes planning and keeping records of income and expenditure, budgeting, balancing your check book, insurance and investments – whether in real estate, the share market, funds or any of the other available mechanisms. You cannot overlook the necessity of planning your savings, your tax savings and your retirement.
