تدبير الأحوال المالية الشخصية


Explanation:
The term has more than one meaning. It could mean "personal loan" from a financial institution, in which case Zainab is correct, or could mean your own personal financial affairs, in which case Ahmed is correct. Books on "personal finance" usually deal with how to budget, make more money and save for your retirement. I say - usually - not always. So mine is just another suggestion. Best thing to do is to look closer at your context. Compound interest sounds to me like "saving", and that would preclude "loans", but I may be very much mistaken in this assumption.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Randa F: sounds good! i would also conclude from your suggestion التدبير المالي الشخصي. Obviously there is a difference between finance and financing. Agree with AhmadAMS notes too. However, Zainab's suggestion is quite commonly used despite the mix.

Unfortunately, some of the internet links are NOT accurate.
Is it (مالية) or (تمويل)? The difference can be felt/ apprehended by accountants or economists only. Thanks to my previous experience in accounting.
The following two links are confused about the term in question.
http://www.emiratesbank.com.sa/ebsa/products/personalfinance...
http://www.emiratesbank.com.sa/ebsa/products/personalfinance...
They are simply translating (finance) as (تمويل) & (personal finance) as (قرض شخصي) which is supposed to be translated as (personal LOAN).

The following link can not be trusted as it is generated by a stupid machine which can NOT feel the subtle difference between the two words.
http://www.vaitman.com/tr/ar/?q=/wealth-building/49802.php

Alternatively, check the following statement: (Use our personal loan search to find the best deal to meet your personal finance needs.) from http://search.dotukdirectory.co.uk/money/compare_personal_lo... to feel the difference between (loan) and (finance).

Additionally, you can check the following three links for more elaborate understanding of both (personal finance) and (personal loan):
