Keown is the only Personal Finance text that builds on 15 Principles to help students develop an intuitive understanding of the process of financial planning so they can use the resources learned in this course to be better financial planners.
This text is written directly to the student. It teaches students how to manage their personal finances. It concentrates on the fundamentals and underlying principles of personal finance, rather than focusing on equations and specific tools which are more easily forgotten.

An extensive discussion of 10 “Financial Life Events.” This discussion in Chapter 18 serves to tie together the concepts and tools in the book — it is a section that would be fun to teach and also be of value to all students regardless of their age. It is also something no one else has. In the course of your lifetime you will experience many events that will change your goals, affect your financial resources, and create new financial obligations or opportunities for you. While there is an almost unlimited number of these type of life events, Keown discuses on 10 of the most common, and with each one we present a comprehensive step by step discussion of how you should respond to them. These financial life events include:
Life Event 1: Getting Started

这本书简直是我最近在个人财务管理领域遇到的“黑马”!我一直对投资理财抱有浓厚的兴趣,但也时常感到力不从心,面对琳琅满目的信息和纷繁复杂的策略,总有一种不知从何下手的感觉。然而,“Personal Finance 4/e”的出现,就像一盏指路明灯,为我拨开了迷雾。我特别喜欢它那种“知行合一”的引导方式,不仅仅是讲理论,更强调实践。书中关于“长期投资”的章节,深入浅出地阐述了复利的力量,并用历史数据和未来趋势相结合的方式,让我对价值投资的信念更加坚定。它没有鼓吹一夜暴富的神话,而是脚踏实地地引导读者建立长期、稳健的财富增长体系。另外,关于“债务管理”的章节,也让我受益匪浅。我一直以来对负债心存芥蒂,但这本书让我认识到,并非所有的负债都是洪水猛兽,关键在于如何聪明地利用和管理。它提供了一系列实用的建议,帮助我重新审视自己的消费习惯和借贷行为,并制定了更加理性的还款计划。总而言之,这本书不仅提升了我的财务知识,更重要的是,它重塑了我对金钱和财富的态度。
评分这本书的出版,着实让我眼前一亮,虽然我并非理财新手,但“Personal Finance 4/e”的出现,依然给我带来了不少惊喜。我尤其欣赏它那种由浅入深、层层递进的讲解方式。刚开始翻阅时,我以为会是市面上常见的那些枯燥乏味的理论堆砌,但出乎意料的是,作者用一种极其平实却又不失专业性的语言,将复杂的金融概念拆解得清晰明了。比如,在谈到预算规划的部分,它并没有简单地列出一些模板,而是深入分析了不同生活方式下预算的制定逻辑,并提供了大量真实案例,让我能够对照自身情况,找到最适合自己的方法。更让我印象深刻的是,书中对于风险管理的探讨,它不仅仅是罗列了各种投资风险,更着重于如何识别、评估和规避这些风险,并给出了切实可行的操作建议。很多时候,我们在理财过程中遇到的迷茫,并非因为缺乏知识,而是缺乏将知识转化为行动的桥梁,而这本书恰恰就填补了这一空白。它让我意识到,理财并非高不可攀的学问,而是每个人都能掌握的、关乎生活品质的重要技能。
评分我一直认为,个人理财并非仅仅是为了积累财富,更是为了实现人生中的各种目标。而“Personal Finance 4/e”这本书,正是从这个更宏大的视角来审视个人财务。它并没有将重点放在单纯的“如何赚钱”上,而是更侧重于“如何用钱,以及如何让钱更好地服务于你的人生”。我尤其欣赏书中关于“退休规划”和“子女教育基金”的章节。它不仅仅是给出了一个简单的数字目标,而是引导读者去思考,在人生的不同阶段,我们需要什么样的财务支持,以及如何通过现有的资源去实现这些目标。书中提供的各种规划工具和案例分析,都非常有启发性,让我能够更清晰地看到自己未来的财务路径,并开始为之做准备。它让我意识到,一个好的财务规划,是能够帮助我们抵御生活中的不确定性,并有能力去追求自己真正热爱的事物的。这本书不仅仅是一本理财指南,更像是一本关于人生规划的智慧之书。
评分对于我这样一个在财务规划方面相对“小白”的读者来说,“Personal Finance 4/e”简直是一场及时雨。我一直知道理财的重要性,但每次打开相关的书籍或文章,都感觉像在看天书,各种专业术语和复杂的图表让我望而却步。这本书最大的亮点在于它的可读性。作者仿佛是一位循循善诱的老师,用非常生活化的语言,把那些原本高深莫测的金融概念讲得通俗易懂。比如,书中在解释“通货膨胀”时,并没有枯燥地罗列公式,而是通过一个生动的小故事,让我瞬间理解了物价上涨对我们日常生活的影响,以及为什么我们需要通过投资来对抗通胀。此外,它对于“保险规划”的讲解也做得非常到位,它不是简单地推销各种保险产品,而是引导读者根据自己的家庭情况、年龄和风险承受能力,选择最适合自己的保障方案,这让我觉得非常贴心和实用。读完这本书,我不再对理财感到恐惧,反而对未来的财务规划充满信心。
评分坦白说,我之前对市面上很多所谓的“理财秘籍”都持保留态度,总觉得它们要么过于理论化,要么过于激进,不太适合普通大众。然而,“Personal Finance 4/e”这本书,在专业性和实用性之间找到了一个绝佳的平衡点。我特别喜欢它关于“房地产投资”和“股票市场分析”的部分,它没有提供那些“内幕消息”或者“稳赚不赔”的承诺,而是从宏观经济、行业趋势、公司基本面等多个维度,引导读者建立自己的独立判断能力。它教会我如何去“做功课”,如何去评估风险,以及如何在市场波动中保持冷静。最让我感到惊喜的是,书中还涉及了一些关于“遗产规划”和“慈善捐赠”的内容,这让我意识到,个人理财的意义远不止于个人财富的积累,更可以延伸到对家庭责任和社会贡献的思考。这本书的内容非常丰富,覆盖了个人财务的方方面面,而且讲解深入浅出,即使是没有相关背景的读者,也能轻松理解。它让我对未来的财务规划有了更全面、更长远的认识。
