And seriously consider taking a junior or community college class in personal finance.
Also: there's good books on personal finance that are highly recommended.
Find out when Suze Orman's show is on your local PBS station and watch the fuck out of that show. She cares a great deal about the little guy and knows the typical traps that novices fall into.
Glad to hear this.
Looking over the FAQ a bit more there's a lot there for you to ruminate on - and looking over the booklist, there isn't one that would fit an 'A to Z' money management approach (for you to get started on learning all the details you would need to get everything in order, including but not limited to retirement saving, insurance, wills and trusts, college savings etc.)
When I was a lot younger I got a lot out of 'Making the Most of your Money' by Jane Bryant Quinn, I see that there's an updated version out. I can't recommend the 1997 version I read, but it may be worth a look. Amazon Link.
But a classic, great read (that you can finish in just a few hours) is one that not a lot of people have heard of, much less actually put into practice. It has positively made a huge difference in how I view successful people, and how people can grow great wealth. It is making money the old fashioned way, by living on less than you earn.
The book? The Richest Man in Babylon by George Clason, on the FAQ reading list.
Best of luck in your adventure. I'll be dealing with a similar 'problem' within the next 5-10 years, won't share any more details than that.
Jane Bryant Quinn's book is the bible of personal finance. My father gave me a copy when I graduated from college. It's 1200 pages of dense print, and it covers everything.
