The greatly anticipated Foundations of Personal Finance is now available from Goodheart-Willcox!

Teaching personal finance just got easier with the release of Foundations of Personal Finance. Business and economics teachers will appreciate the depth of coverage, including chapters that address the Jump$tart National Standards in K-12 Personal Finance Education. Teachers new to personal finance will appreciate the text’s user-friendly format and the inclusion of valuable resources. Students will like the easy-to-understand text, color photos and charts, anecdotal case studies, and use of interactive online tools.

Foundations of Personal Finance discusses current events, the expanded economic role of the U.S. government, and the growing impact of globalization on U.S. businesses and workers. Students are introduced to fundamental economic concepts so they can better understand an increasingly complex world. They learn how to identify and manage resources to achieve their own economic goals. A chapter covers each personal finance area: taxes, credit, insurance, savings, investments, and financial institutions. Students also learn how to make wise decisions about items that affect many household budgets: food, clothing, transportation, housing, technology, and health. Foundations of Personal Finance challenges students to plan their futures—with education, job training, and careers—and help make environmental resources available for future generations. Each chapter contains colorful photos and charts, compelling case studies, career profiles, and related content from other academic areas.
