Getting started with my own personal finances?

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

Annie asked:

I’m a young adult who’s about to start managing my own money soon (car payments/insurance, student loans, health insurance, and various other living expenses) and I was wondering if there were any books, websites, or other media out there that could explain/help me with my financial planning. How do I start planning? How do I avoid getting taken advantage of? Do I need a financial advisor? If so, how do I go about finding one? Like I said, if there are any books, websites, etc. you can recommend that would be great. Thanks a bunch!!!

Where can I find a free microsoft access template to manage my personal finances?

Sunday, March 25th, 2007

sheepdisease asked:

I would like to be able to input money into my bank account and input variables that require money is taken out of my account. For example, if my average income per year is £5,000 and electricity, gas, telephone line rental and broadband cost £2,000, it want to be told that I will have £3,000 left over and how much this works out at per month.
Please note that I already have a fully licenced version of Microsoft Access, this is not what I meant.

Right now I am a freshman in high school, and I have about $7,000 in savings towards college. I am going to Lake Erie College for equestrian studies.
