##Welcome to Personal Finance!

###Where am I?

Released in 2017, this course features a collection of videos and articles covering a range of topics from saving and investing to managing debt and insurance. These resources are designed to help you gain a foundational understanding of personal finance concepts.

How is this course different from the new [Financial Literacy course]((/college-careers-more/financial-literacy)?

While both courses are designed to help you manage your money more effectively, they differ in some key ways:

  • This Personal Finance course hasn't been updated since 2017; in contrast, the Financial Literacy course is a new work-in-progress.

  • The Personal Finance course contains only articles and videos; in contrast, the Financial Literacy course features new videos, articles, and practice exercises to help you better understand and apply the skills in the course and make real changes in your financial life.

  • The Financial Literacy course is mastery-enabled: as you complete exercises, you can level each skill up from "Familiar" to "Proficient" to "Mastered" and better track your growth and progress through the course.

###Which of these courses is right for me?

If you're looking for a foundational understanding of personal finance concepts, the Personal Finance course may be right for you: as of early 2023, it has more in-depth coverage of the material.

If you're looking for up-to-date practical information to make real changes in your financial life, and if you like to practice what you're learning with exercises, we encourage you to check out the Financial Literacy course !

We're so glad you're here—have a great day, and keep saving!
