Morphology
The meaning 'a piece of advice on managing one's own money' is directly and transparently derived from the constituents: 'personal' (relating to an individual), 'finance' (managing money), and 'tip' (a practical suggestion). This noun-noun construction follows ordinary English composition patterns and has clear cross-linguistic parallels, so a B1 learner who knows the words would reliably infer the meaning.
Etymology
Personal finance tip joins personal (about you), finance (money) and tip (a small helpful hint). Imagine someone leaning over your shoulder and giving one quick note about your wallet, and that's why it means 'a short piece of advice on managing your own money'.
