Kit básico (para evitar los errores más frecuentes) de finanzas (Coursera)

Cambia tu percepción de las finanzas personales y evita ser víctima del abuso financiero y de tus propios sesgos conductuales. En el ámbito de las finanzas personales más importante que conocer cómo se calcula la prima de una opción o cómo se negocia en el mercado Forex es, por ejemplo, saber confeccionar un presupuesto familiar y sobre todo tener la voluntad de utilizarlo.

En muchos casos esa falta de voluntad va relacionada con otros sesgos, como valorar de forma inconsistente recompensas a corto plazo respecto a recompensas a largo plazo (descuento hiperbólico) o aplazar indefinidamente decisiones sobre aspectos que inciden en tu equilibrio financiero (procrastinación). Aprender a reconocer y modificar estos sesgos facilitará tu empoderamiento financiero y evitará que cometas errores habituales o seas víctima fácil de abusos financieros.
