I have recently started a course with the Open University called, You and your money: personal finance in context (DB123). I started doing this course because I want more control over my money and wanted more knowledge about the various options, in simple terms from an impartial source. I can’t be the only one who doesn’t really understand all the financial jargon, and this was confirmed when some of the news headlines reveal that the younger generations don’t really have a clue when it comes to finances.
It would seem that now it is more important than ever due to the current economic climate. Also understanding finance and how to make the most of your money could potentially help you get out of debt….assuming that you have any. It can also help you save for both a rainy day and for when you retire.
