Personal Finance cards from Nuru: a distinctive gift.
I received my Nuru Personal Finance cards from the giveaway at MoneyNing a few weeks ago (Thanks again David!)
I actually got the cards within 3 days of winning the giveaway. I’ve just been so busy, I haven’t been able to blog about until now.. Yeah, I know, the giveaway was forever ago, but I think these cards would make a great stocking stuffer and I’m hoping this is still a timely post 
The personal finance cards are an excellent primer on the basics, and totally portable. That’s the advantage of these cards over a book! They fit quite comfortably in the pocket of my jeans or jacket, and they’ve given me something to look at when I’m stuck in traffic and get tired of staring at all the lifeless faces stuck with me.
The cards cover:
- Essential Vocabulary
- Personal Planning
- Investing
- Loans
- Financial Vehicles for Retirement Planning
- Credit
- Insurance
The topics are laid out so that they build upon the previous topics, and have a nifty notation for cross referencing various topics on other cards.
They have a clip-ring to hold them together, so you’re not constantly dealing with a shuffled deck!
The company that makes them is Nuru (Knowledge for Real Life). They’ve got a bunch of other topics too like Fitness, First Aid, Automobiles Maintenance and more. Each deck sells for $7.50 – $10.00 and makes a unique stocking stuffer. Check them out Here
I think they would make an excellent gift for anyone who interested in learning more about personal finance, but isn’t going to sit down with a 200+ page book on the topic. In fact, these cards might just get such a person interested enough to eventually delve into a book.
They can also serve as a helpful reminder of the basics for someone who may have forgotten or just lost sight of the building blocks of proper personal finance.
Thanks again to MoneyNing and Nuru for the giveaway!
It is said that what one thinks about happens. It is also said that the truth shall make you free. And, of course, Socrates equated knowledge with both morality and power.
No matter, new knowledge is a good thing.
I cannot think of a better gift to give someone than the gift of knowledge, especially when that knowledge is edited and summarized in a professional manner as these cards seem to be.
Thank you for bringing this gift idea to my attention.
