Personal finance is an education that every young person should learn. If you learn all three terms of personal finance then you will never have to face financial problems in your life.

Why you need to learn Personal Finance.

Let’s say you have $50 now and with that $50 you can buy a Samsung mobile phone, but what if you deposit this $50 in your bank account for 10 years.

So now tell me, will you be able to buy the Samsung phone after 10 years with the same $50.

The Answer is NO

Because after 10 years that Samsung phone would have stopped selling in the market and at that time the mobile you want to buy will not be available in $ 50. Because after 10 years the inflation would have increased and the prices of all mobile phones would have also increased too and your $50 will remain $50 in your bank account even after 10 years.

Yes, We all know that banks give you interest on your money but it is very less and that’s why you need to learn Personal Finance, by learning which you can increase your money over time.
