Useful Links: Personal Finances

Here are some useful links to look at for personal finances:

For a website created by the Alliance Library System through a grant from the American Library Association that was funded by the FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) Investor Education Foundation – see www.smartinvestingatyourlibrary.info. This site is dedicated to providing useful information about different types of investments and links to presentations created during the grant as well as links to resources from FINRA.

For a website created by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants – see www.feedthepig.org. This site is aimed at 25-34 year olds and is dedicated to helping you “think through your spending and saving habits, identify ways you can start saving and commit to making changes that will reduce your debt and grow your savings.”

For another website created by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants – see http://www.360financialliteracy.org/. This site “offers information to help consumers make sound financial decisions at every stage of their lives, from childhood to retirement.”

All of the bigger “home” pages, like Yahoo, MSNBC and Google all have finance pages/links that can provide useful information:
· http://finance.yahoo.com
· http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032258/
· http://finance.google.com/finance

These sites can help you with things like mortgage payment calculators, dealing with identity theft, saving money, retirement planning, etc.
