Question

Answer 1

you learn after you get screwed..hahah..talk to someone who has experience..

Answer 2

there isn't much to know, unless you have a lot

Answer 3

You start right now!

I just started a website specifically for people like us, who have no idea where to find these kinds of resources.

I suggest starting with reading the books I have reveiwed, you can find them here

http://btgnow.net/pages/reviews.html

(definitely check out the personal fiance books I have reviewed).

In time there will also be more articles on financial topics, for now there are two very good ones, which you can find here

http://btgnow.net/pages/perfina.html

I update witha new article at least once a week, s be sure to stop by frequently or sign up for the mailing list if you want to keep informed!

BUT BE SURE TO READ THOSE BOOKS!

Good luck!

Check out http://www.daveramsey.com.  He has a radio show and podcast that is all about personal finance.  His site also has answers to many questions about taxes, home purchase, etc.

Answer 5

You will learn all about money by being curious and asking questions.

Dave Ramsey is good, you also might want to check out wikipedia.com - there is tons of good information there already and more is added every day.

I took my first tax course when I was 16 and bought a home on my first pay-day. Experience is a great teacher.

The "financial person" is not the most reliable source of information. They know a lot but they make money by selling your financial products. Some are more concerned with their own interests, than with yours....
