Question: What are the best personal finance resources for 20somethings?

(Posted by: shelstar27 on 2010-01-12 13:03:04)

I am 23 years old, a college graduate just starting off my career. No kids or marriage yet. What are the best books, magazines, sites, tools, etc. regarding personal finance at this stage of life? A lot of what I've seen seems like good advice yet geared toward people with families, established in careers, and with tons of debt.

You need to look up Suze Orman, she has the perfect book for college graduates, forgot what it's called, saw her on public television speaking to college students. Best of luck to you. Stay single.

Try reading up blogs of users who write innovative life changing articles on saving money, managing finances, etc. Please see the following websites: getrichslowly.org - Excellent articles prudentdude.com - great starter blog on saving money iwillteachyoutoberich - this may sound like a scam, but if you get this guy's book, its worth every penny. Overall in a nutsheel, just keep reading, gain knowledge and you should be leverage it to your benefit. And oh yes, before you do anything, please set up a Roth IRA for this year and pump in 5k in it before the tax season is up. This is the one immediate thing that can get you started to the path towards early retirement : )
