Personal Financial Advisor

Personal financial advisors help people manage their money and teach them
how to make their money grow. They offer advice on how to budget
for monthly expenses, as well as how to save for
retirement. A bachelor’s degree in business, accounting,
finance, economics, or statistics provides good
preparation for the occupation. Strong communication
and problem-solving skills are equally important to achieve
success in this field.

In Problem 90of Study Set 2.2,you will see how a personal
financial planner uses integers to determine whether a
duplex rental unit would be a money-making investment for a
client.
