The Best Way to Understand Personal Finance

[selena1]

When we are trying to understand Personal Finance, the best thing to do is to understand what Personal Finance is NOT.

Many people think that accounting and personal finance are the same, but Personal Finance is NOT Accounting.

On the surface they may seem the same; they both have something to do with money. However, the definitions will help us better understand the differences.

Merriam-Webster's definition of accounting is "the system of recording and summarizing business and financial transactions and analyzing, verifying, and reporting the results."

Based on this definition, we see that accounting is the process of analysing and recording what you have already done with your money.

This is why having an accountant is usually not enough when it comes to your personal finances.

Accountants generally don't concern themselves with personal finance (there are some exceptions to this rule). Unless your accountant is also a financial advisor or coach, he or she will likely just look at what you have done with your money at the end of the year and provide you with a report of their analysis.

We all know how important personal finance is, but sometimes it's hard to keep up with the basics. And that's why we're here: to help you understand all the important things you need to know about personal finance.

First off, what exactly is personal finance? It's your process of managing your money in order to grow your savings and ensure that you'll have enough money for retirement, college tuition, and other important expenses. That means tracking where every dollar goes and seeing how much money is left at the end of the month and then making sure that you can live comfortably without putting yourself into debt or running out of cash before you need it.

It also means understanding how those dollars work for a variety of different scenarios like starting a business or buying a house. so that when it comes time for something expensive (like paying off student loans), there won't be any surprises along the way.
