J’ai beaucoup appris dans ce cours. Il y a matière à étudier et intégrer. Il est question de personnalité, gestion d’argent, budgétisation, planification et finance personnelle.

Très enrichissant !

It really helped me understand what was happening with my finances and how to work towards a good place with them that wasn't overwhelming. Plus, it clarified a lot of things I wasn't 100% on.

The course gives a fairly broad view of finance, money and relations with it as well as budgeting. Basically, everything you need to understand personal finance.

I put 4/5 only because there is a number of topics focused purely on the American market, which are not relevant to others (taxes, for example) But still it was interesting to listen.

Thank you for the course!

One of the most important course I have taken on Coursera to date.

The reason it's not 5 star is that it is primarily US focused, and the quizzes ask questions which are not necessarily most important for your understanding. Also, the script seems a bit repetitive, but regardless of these minor shortcomings, this is a very valuable intro to personal finance.

Good course, I learned a lot. It was a little repetitive at times, and some of the material was a little simple for me, but I think it was still very helpful. I wish I had this material to learn from 10 years ago!
