finances
Personal economic affairs
Finances refers to someone's money situation—their income, savings, debts, and how they manage them: Our finances are tight this month, She finally got her finances in order.
The word typically implies the whole picture rather than a single transaction.
Personal finances concerns individual money management; public finances deals with government revenue and spending.
