Financial Basics: A Money-Management Guide for Students, 2nd Edition
Autor Susan Knoxen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 iul 2016
Students are confronted with major financial decisions as they enter college, and yet they have little experience with personal finance. Their decisions, if not well made, could adversely affect them throughout their lives. This book is meant to empower students at the beginning of their financial lives with basic, straightforward information on managing bank accounts, creating spending plans, determining how much they can afford to pay for college, making student-loan decisions, establishing a credit history, and other money-management options.
This 2nd edition updates changes in online banking, smartphone apps, credit cards, and student loans but retains basic financial information that ensures students won’t learn about money the hard way. A chapter for parents has been added so they can help their students become financially knowledgeable, and it includes advice for parents about making decisions related to college costs. In addition, a chapter for grandparents contains suggestions on how to help college-bound grandchildren—financially and in other ways—without endangering their own financial security. A basic investments chapter is included for first-time investors.
The intent of Financial Basics is to enhance student readers’ financial knowledge and provide money-management options for finding their own best way to become masters of their money.

Recenzii
"Financial Basics has the potential to make an enormous difference in the lives of college students. Research shows that financial problems present some of the biggest obstacles students face in achieving academic success, or even being able to stay in school. Knox has written a very helpful and accessible guide; it should be required reading for everyone heading off to college. Or for that matter, for anyone who's finding that money problems are tripping them up in their efforts to live effective lives."—Martha Garland, former Dean of Academic Affairs, The Ohio State University
Notă biografică
Prior to devoting herself to writing, Susan Knox was a CPA, financial planner, and university administrator and accounting faculty member.
