do you learn financial knowledge from the internet or books or courses at school? if so, where do you find your sources? I really want to learn the basic money management and invest knowledge, but I don't know where to start. Last year, I borrowed a few books from library but I find it very hard for me to understand. It's very boring. So now I am really confused where to start. Can you give me some hints?

Hi, I have recently been allocated to a project which is all about financial market(mainly stock market). So, I need to increase my knowledge in it. They have given me a site which I find very helpful. The language is very lucid and they have explaination for every finance term possible. The site I am talking about is www.investopedia.com Give it a try and let me know, if you liked it!

I usually study financial knowledge through books and newspapers. I think it is difficult for you to self study if you don't have any fundamental knowledge of finance, so I prefer you may first borrow some fundamental books to read or take courses if available.
