520    "Teaches the basics of personal finance by involving the 
       reader in various financial exercises and eventually 
       constructing a personal financial plan. Users not only 
       track their spending for a month, but also set personal 
       financial goals and incorporate them into a realistic 
       budget. This book also teaches time-value of money 
       calculations, which enable readers to calculate their 
       necessary monthly savings in order to reach targeted. 
       investment goals. This book conducts a thorough review of 
       credit, complete with strategies to pay off credit card 
       and other forms of debt. It features discussions on 
       student debt as well, with particular attention to 
       appropriate pay-down strategies and the financial payoffs 
       to different academic majors. It immerses users in real 
       and purposeful financial activities, while teaching 
       personal finance vocabulary and encouraging readers to 
       take seriously the financial side of their lives."--
