Do you really need a college degree to manage your own personal finances?

For me l may say that there is no need for the college degree for one to succeed in their personal finances.

I agree. Though having atleast a financial degree of some sort helps, as you would be familiar with the terminology and what it is expected with taxes and other things.

It can be an advantage but not necessary. Hehe. You can learn it on your own by participating in different forums or watching YouTube videos.

A degree is very important so people won't look down on you. You can also comprehend right away unlike having less education. Despite, one can still manage his finances.

You don't need a college degree to manage personal finance. Some people that have degrees in that area are failures in managing their personal finance. Personal finance is something we have to learn by ourselves through commitment and sacrifice.

Not necessarily, though having a college degree does has it's added advantage but you can actually manage your finances without having one.

Personal finance is very simple and easy, so we don't need to take a college degree, each college degree also has a different scientific discipline and many are not related to economics and finance.

To an extent you do but you need more of business skills. The education you acquire will help you to be creative and productive

I don't think it's necessary for personal finance because it's just your money and you can experiment with it to determine which method is best for you

Yes, having the basic knowledge from school isn't bad but we have to adopt the right skills to manage finance

I would say it helps but not a must. Managing personal finance is not very difficult. You can just read some books and learn the concept of budgeting, how to make investment etc.

 

[Starmix]

It's not true as long as you have the gut and courage to learn along the way. It's learning by doing that matters.

It depends on how much savings or money you are managing or control. Most young people have less money, and they can easily manage their investment. For older professionals with some savings, managing the investment can be like a full time job, especially if the savings are diversified.

I agree. While having some form of financial education can be beneficial, as it familiarizes you with terminology and expectations regarding taxes and other financial matters.

College degree is required in all aspects, we can't say that it is not important. But here so many millionaires are those who are doing their business without college degree.

 

[AruneBend]

Internet is very powerful tool and you can learn just about everything there so even if you don't have a degree your good as long as your trying to learn

College degree might help but it is not really necessary for personal finance management. Personal financial management is what anyone can achieve with just self learning and experiences.
