Chances are you may have a few cash concerns these days. Who doesn't? Yet a lot of online advice about personal finance seems geared toward people who already manage their own sizeable portfolios. That's where the new Currency℠ site from American Express helps fill the void, helping young adults find their financial footing. From merging finances with your significant other to fighting a store dispute, Currency℠ lets you read, learn about–and engage on–topics that actually matter to you. And, they're brought to you by writers and bloggers who know how to explain strategies that aren't always second-nature.
Worried about the way you've been using your credit cards? The "Spending" section of the Currency℠ site offers strategies for managing your debt. You never know when the a rainy day will come up, so the "Planning & Savings" section helps you stay ready. And of course, many "Big Decisions" may be in your near future–marriage, kids, buying a home. The Currency℠ site helps you learn how to deal with your finances.
Another way to learn about making your money work for you is Currency Coursework–a series of online courses that teach you about personal-finance topics, created in partnership with Knowledge@Wharton at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. Bonus: No term papers!
Finally, if you're an iPhone user and love Foursquare, download Social Currency to share your purchasing and social activities with your network.
Now that's a great investment of your online time!
