Introduction: How to use this Guide<br />
This practical guide on personal finance provides a foundation for learning about<br />
important life skills such as financial planning, budgeting, saving, investing, <strong>and</strong><br />
borrowing. With helpful explanations, worksheets, vocabulary lists, <strong>and</strong> quizzes,<br />
each chapter covers a wealth of information on various financial topics. These<br />
resources can be used in a variety of educational settings. Materials benefit learners in<br />
one-to-one, small group, classroom or self-study situations.<br />
The learning experience can be customized as well by choosing sections that are<br />
pertinent to individual life goals <strong>and</strong> objectives. If a learner is thinking of purchasing<br />
a home, Chapter 6 on Borrowing Basics offers information on different types of loans,<br />
renting versus owning, <strong>and</strong> activity sheets on mortgage affordability. If a learner is<br />
just starting to consider investing or is close to retirement <strong>and</strong> wants some advice,<br />
Chapter 4 on Saving <strong>and</strong> Investing offers savings tips, describes investment vehicles, <strong>and</strong><br />
provides worksheets that help identify saving <strong>and</strong> investing strategies. Chapters can<br />
be read in whatever order meets the immediate needs of the learner. Vocabulary lists<br />
<strong>and</strong> an extensive glossary facilitate comprehension of the readings <strong>and</strong> concepts found<br />
in each chapter.<br />
Also included are a <strong>Newton</strong> <strong>Free</strong> <strong>Library</strong> select bibliography <strong>and</strong> filmography. We<br />
identify the level of English comprehension (beginning, low intermediate,<br />
intermediate, advanced <strong>and</strong> multi-level) of all books that are listed in the<br />
bibliography. The classification helps learners <strong>and</strong> educators choose those materials<br />
that are most appropriate for the learner’s level of English proficiency. The guide<br />
ends with recommended websites as well as community <strong>and</strong> nationwide resource lists.<br />
We hope that you enjoy working with this guide as much as we have enjoyed<br />
creating it!<br />
