Exam details
Personal finance refers to the management of an individual's or household's financial activities, including budgeting, saving, investing, and debt management to achieve financial goals and security.
The key pillars are earning income, budgeting expenses, saving money, managing debt, investing wisely, and planning for retirement and insurance needs.
A budget is a financial plan that estimates anticipated income and allocates it to expenses, savings, and debt repayment over a specific period, typically monthly.
The 50/30/20 rule recommends allocating 50% of after-tax income to needs (essentials), 30% to wants (discretionary spending), and 20% to savings and debt repayment.
Net worth is calculated as total assets (cash, investments, property) minus total liabilities (debts, loans), providing a snapshot of financial health.
