Personal Finance

I pulled Personal Finance out of the Economics course and created a separate course for it. (There is a DSST exam specifically for Personal Finance, which I'd previously listed on the economics page.)

Honestly, IMHO, while understanding micro and macroeconomics, and how things work on a country and world-wide level is good, between the two, I think most students would be better off with a personal finance class instead. If all students were required to take a personal finance course, I think we'd have a lot less problems with young people defaulting on student loans and the current mortgage crisis.
