Get
to the root of smart financial decision-making!

the seed is only the first step. Growing it into a healthy tree
takes time, effort, and care. Similarly, to successfully plan your
financial future, you need to be able to think critically and make
smart decisions. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes critical
thinking and decision-making. An introductory chapter develops
strategies for effective decision-making. Students are encouraged
to apply these strategies to the analysis of different types of financial
problems thorughout the text. Other features of the book that reinforce
this theme include: |
Learning
By Doing –These
