Resource Description: Gale Personal Finance eBook Collection involves analyzing an individual’s or family’s current financial position, predicting short-term and long-term needs, and managing those needs within a budget. Personal finance may include acquiring and using credit cards, monitoring credit scores, managing cash flow, purchasing insurance and mortgages, taking out loans, filing taxes, and planning for retirement. Personal banking—such as checking and savings bank accounts, IRAs, and 401K plans—are all considered part of personal finance.
