You can do a lot of things with your money, but most of what you do falls in the categories of earn, spend, save, borrow and protect. Once you have earned money, should you spend it, save it or protect it? Do you need or want something that you have to save or borrow to get? Only you can answer that question. The following resources can help:
- University of Illinois Extension: Finances: Provides information about personal finance topics.
- Harvard Guide to Financial Literacy: A financial guide from Harvard College, the undergraduate school at Harvard University.
- FINRA Personal Finance: An investor's guide to personal finance with topics to help you determine your approach to investing.
