It is important to pay attention to the financial policies that your politicians or appointed officials propose. These policies influence business, the economy and your personal financial life. Pick an aspect of your personal financial life, (for example healthcare, childcare, eldercare, retirement, car, education, travel, or house costs), and research the current policy that any federal, state, or local politician is supporting. How does this government policy affect your personal finances? Will your costs rise or fall because of this policy?
