Personal finance

Keown (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State U.) ties topics together through the use of basic principles or axioms in order to educate the student in the discipline of personal finance, not just the procedures. The 18 chapters cover financial planning, managing money, insurance protection, managing investments, and retirement and estate planning. Includes a workbook. Annotation c.
