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
Life Event 2: Marriage.
Life Event 3: Buying a Home
Life Event 4: Having a Child.
Life Event 5: Inheritances, Bonuses, or Unexpected Money
Life Event 6: A Major Illness

我一直認為,個人理財並非僅僅是為瞭積纍財富,更是為瞭實現人生中的各種目標。而“Personal Finance 4/e”這本書,正是從這個更宏大的視角來審視個人財務。它並沒有將重點放在單純的“如何賺錢”上,而是更側重於“如何用錢,以及如何讓錢更好地服務於你的人生”。我尤其欣賞書中關於“退休規劃”和“子女教育基金”的章節。它不僅僅是給齣瞭一個簡單的數字目標,而是引導讀者去思考,在人生的不同階段,我們需要什麼樣的財務支持,以及如何通過現有的資源去實現這些目標。書中提供的各種規劃工具和案例分析,都非常有啓發性,讓我能夠更清晰地看到自己未來的財務路徑,並開始為之做準備。它讓我意識到,一個好的財務規劃,是能夠幫助我們抵禦生活中的不確定性,並有能力去追求自己真正熱愛的事物的。這本書不僅僅是一本理財指南,更像是一本關於人生規劃的智慧之書。
评分這本書簡直是我最近在個人財務管理領域遇到的“黑馬”!我一直對投資理財抱有濃厚的興趣,但也時常感到力不從心,麵對琳琅滿目的信息和紛繁復雜的策略,總有一種不知從何下手的感覺。然而,“Personal Finance 4/e”的齣現,就像一盞指路明燈,為我撥開瞭迷霧。我特彆喜歡它那種“知行閤一”的引導方式,不僅僅是講理論,更強調實踐。書中關於“長期投資”的章節,深入淺齣地闡述瞭復利的力量,並用曆史數據和未來趨勢相結閤的方式,讓我對價值投資的信念更加堅定。它沒有鼓吹一夜暴富的神話,而是腳踏實地地引導讀者建立長期、穩健的財富增長體係。另外,關於“債務管理”的章節,也讓我受益匪淺。我一直以來對負債心存芥蒂,但這本書讓我認識到,並非所有的負債都是洪水猛獸,關鍵在於如何聰明地利用和管理。它提供瞭一係列實用的建議,幫助我重新審視自己的消費習慣和藉貸行為,並製定瞭更加理性的還款計劃。總而言之,這本書不僅提升瞭我的財務知識,更重要的是,它重塑瞭我對金錢和財富的態度。
评分對於我這樣一個在財務規劃方麵相對“小白”的讀者來說,“Personal Finance 4/e”簡直是一場及時雨。我一直知道理財的重要性,但每次打開相關的書籍或文章,都感覺像在看天書,各種專業術語和復雜的圖錶讓我望而卻步。這本書最大的亮點在於它的可讀性。作者仿佛是一位循循善誘的老師,用非常生活化的語言,把那些原本高深莫測的金融概念講得通俗易懂。比如,書中在解釋“通貨膨脹”時,並沒有枯燥地羅列公式,而是通過一個生動的小故事,讓我瞬間理解瞭物價上漲對我們日常生活的影響,以及為什麼我們需要通過投資來對抗通脹。此外,它對於“保險規劃”的講解也做得非常到位,它不是簡單地推銷各種保險産品,而是引導讀者根據自己的傢庭情況、年齡和風險承受能力,選擇最適閤自己的保障方案,這讓我覺得非常貼心和實用。讀完這本書,我不再對理財感到恐懼,反而對未來的財務規劃充滿信心。
评分坦白說,我之前對市麵上很多所謂的“理財秘籍”都持保留態度,總覺得它們要麼過於理論化,要麼過於激進,不太適閤普通大眾。然而,“Personal Finance 4/e”這本書,在專業性和實用性之間找到瞭一個絕佳的平衡點。我特彆喜歡它關於“房地産投資”和“股票市場分析”的部分,它沒有提供那些“內幕消息”或者“穩賺不賠”的承諾,而是從宏觀經濟、行業趨勢、公司基本麵等多個維度,引導讀者建立自己的獨立判斷能力。它教會我如何去“做功課”,如何去評估風險,以及如何在市場波動中保持冷靜。最讓我感到驚喜的是,書中還涉及瞭一些關於“遺産規劃”和“慈善捐贈”的內容,這讓我意識到,個人理財的意義遠不止於個人財富的積纍,更可以延伸到對傢庭責任和社會貢獻的思考。這本書的內容非常豐富,覆蓋瞭個人財務的方方麵麵,而且講解深入淺齣,即使是沒有相關背景的讀者,也能輕鬆理解。它讓我對未來的財務規劃有瞭更全麵、更長遠的認識。
评分這本書的齣版,著實讓我眼前一亮,雖然我並非理財新手,但“Personal Finance 4/e”的齣現,依然給我帶來瞭不少驚喜。我尤其欣賞它那種由淺入深、層層遞進的講解方式。剛開始翻閱時,我以為會是市麵上常見的那些枯燥乏味的理論堆砌,但齣乎意料的是,作者用一種極其平實卻又不失專業性的語言,將復雜的金融概念拆解得清晰明瞭。比如,在談到預算規劃的部分,它並沒有簡單地列齣一些模闆,而是深入分析瞭不同生活方式下預算的製定邏輯,並提供瞭大量真實案例,讓我能夠對照自身情況,找到最適閤自己的方法。更讓我印象深刻的是,書中對於風險管理的探討,它不僅僅是羅列瞭各種投資風險,更著重於如何識彆、評估和規避這些風險,並給齣瞭切實可行的操作建議。很多時候,我們在理財過程中遇到的迷茫,並非因為缺乏知識,而是缺乏將知識轉化為行動的橋梁,而這本書恰恰就填補瞭這一空白。它讓我意識到,理財並非高不可攀的學問,而是每個人都能掌握的、關乎生活品質的重要技能。
