"Finance" is a broad discipline. From an individual's perspective, finance en compasses financial institutions and investments. Virtually every day I have some contact with a financial institution. I write and receive checks, review my bank balance on-line, and use my credit cards. Other members of my fam ily do the same. Your contact with financial institutions is probably just as frequent.
I make investment decisions that often meet a specific purpose, such as a stock purchase in my retirement account or my grandchildren's college fund accounts. I may sell a stock that I believe is overvalued or buy one that I think is undervalued. Many people periodically make investment decisions. They may not even be conscious of these decisions: Having funds withheld from your paycheck and invested in your employer's 401(k) retirement plan is an investment decision, even if you don't select the specific assets to include in the plan. And the same applies when you leave funds in a mutual fund or continue to hold a stock. Maintaining those positions are also investment decisions, Business owners and managers make financial decisions, so the third facet of finance is often referred to as business finance or corporate finance. The employees of governments and nonprofit institutions also make similar financial decisions. Since expected future cash inflows and outflows affect current financial decisions, many tools used for making business decisions also apply to nonbusiness financial decisions." --Preface
