Personal Finance Videos Hit the Basics
June 7, 2016
These personal finance videos are like sensible shoes: they won’t win any awards, but they can be useful.
Produced by the College of Financial Planning, the short videos demystify the fundamentals of personal finance that the planners who teach and take courses at the college rely on in their practices.
- “Free Money” (above) features Dirk Pantone, a vice president and certified financial planner, interviewing Kristen MacKenzie, who teaches there, about 401(k)s, 403(b)s, 457(b)s and the employer match.
- “Living on Borrowed Time,” has Pantone and MacKenzie discussing the difference between good debt and bad debt, both of which impact credit scores.
- “The Road to Investing Your Assets” explains why low fees and portfolio diversification are so important.
There are 13 videos. Other topics covered include retirement, taxes, and financial literacy. To watch other videos, click here.
