Becoming Financially Savvy

| Bordentown Library

Looking to brush up on your finance skills? Thinking about investing, saving, or just learning how to become more financially savvy? We’ve got you covered; BCLS has some fantastic resources to help you get started!

On our Research and Learn page, you’ll find many useful online resources, such as ValueLine described as an authority on reliable, unbiased and insightful investment information. Use it to research companies, or watch instructional videos that discuss tips on investments, “how-to” guides, or reference a glossary to better understand an unfamiliar term.

If you enjoy reading magazines on our digital newsstand Flipster, you’ll find useful financial magazines such as Kiplinger's Personal Finance, which covers important topics like retirement, budgeting, investments and more. Digital magazines on Flipster include links that can help you find additional information and resources. For example, in a recent edition of Kiplinger’s, the article Reshopping Auto-Insurance in a High-Inflation World helps you find better quotes and discounts. Be sure to read the cover story, How to Prepare for a Really Long Retirement, for links to a Health Savings Account tool to compare options.

Also in Flipster, a recent issue of Reader's Digest features the article The Best Time to Buy Everything, which offers smart shopping tips that can save you money on seasonal items for you or your home. You can also discover money-saving tips in Real Simple, which recently offered help preparing for tax season with the article 3 Things Tax Accountants Want You to do Right Now.

Meeting your personal finance goals starts with the right information from knowledgeable professionals. Begin your research with our online resources and always remember to contact your library if you need further help!
