Finance is largely personal because it is the direct result of our day to day decisions and a reflection of our priorities. Although it is individualized, we are all moving towards the same goal, which is prosperity and more financial freedom.

I agree completely and the irony is that the whole reason it is called personal finance is that it is personal. It is our finance and yet people tend to assign this responsibility to others.

I think another reason why personal finance is so “personal” is fate. If you are lucky, you can make more money or save more, however if you are bad luck, you have to spend some money to solve problem. This is why emergency fund is very important. We really hard to predict what happen in our life.

I agree, context is really important. And I think even better than judging with context in mind is not judging others’ choices (except in terms of whether they’d work for us or not) at all. We can never really know the full context of others’ lives so better not to judge at all, I think.

Great post!
