There is no hiding from personal finance. How you earn, save, invest, and spend your money will always be important. That is why it is important to take advantage of the free resources out there for you to assist in simplifying your personal finance journey. The following are the three resources:

1. Investopedia

2. NerdWallet

3. Yahoo Finance

1. Investopedia

Investopedia is a financial media website that provides investment dictionaries, advice, reviews, ratings, and comparison of financial products such as credit cards and stock brokerages. Going by its name, Investopedia is an investing-focused encyclopedia. Whether you want to better understand what an interest rate is or learn which stock brokerage to pick, starting on Investopedia is a worthy choice.

2. NerdWallet

NerdWallet is a personal finance website that provides overviews and reviews of financial products such as bank accounts, credit cards, mortgages, auto loans, stock brokerages, and insurance. Whatever financial product you are looking for, it has likely been summarized and reviewed by the NerdWallet team, giving you a deeper look into what it offers.

3. Yahoo Finance

Yahoo Finance is a financial news website that provides data, commentary, and original content related to the stock market and economy. It is important to be up-to-date on what is happening in the stock market and economy as it can affect the financial products you are considering for yourself. When it comes to financial news, Yahoo Finance is a great place to start.

Personal finance does not have to be complex. At times, it can be seen as complex due to descriptions and fine prints of certain financial products being unclear. When it comes to resources such as Investopedia, NerdWallet, and Yahoo Finance, those descriptions and fine prints are broken down, putting you in the position for a successful personal finance journey. Let me know in the comments what you think of the three resources.
