In our last post, we reviewed an online course entitled "Fundamentals of Personal Financial Planning" offered by the University of California at Irvine. The course was an in depth study of almost all aspects of financial planning. However, it is probably too advanced for most people. On the other hand a course offered by the Khan Academy is much more down to earth.
www.smartmoneyhabits.com. Through a video, Easy Ways to Save on Everyday Expenses, it offers a number of ways you can save money on your grocery bills, cable and telephone bills. Most of the tips we all have heard before, but it is always good to remind ourselves how little things like shopping with a list, using coupons, signing up for rewards or loyalty cards can all add up to big savings.
In addition to the Easy Ways to Save on Everyday Expenses video, several other videos are offered. One fascinating one to me was the one entitled The Time Value of Money. The video offers a cogent explanation of this sometimes elusive concept. Let me know what you think.
Overall, for most people, this is the course I would recommend if you are trying to get your personal finances in order.. It is quick and easy to understand and does not require a lot of prior knowledge.
