I disagree. Personal doesnt always refer to ME MYSELF AND I. Personal in the context of personal finance usually refers to the financial decisions made that not only impact yourself but those directly connected to the decisions you make. Whatever financial decisions we make, they usually have consequences for more than the ones who are making the decisions.

On the other hand, there are others who dont plan to get married or have children and whatever financial decisions they make are truly personal and have no adverse effect on those close to them. For them that decision is truly personal and that's it for them.

So I think this is just a play on semantics, but at the end of the day, each personal defines for themselves, what's personal.
