Khan Academy has just released a fantastic resource for anyone trying to get a better handle on his/her personal finances. In 20 short videos, the longest of which is only 18 minutes, they very succinctly break down all the major areas of personal finance and explain them in a way that makes sense and that one can learn from. This is an excellent resource for people of all stages of life and all ages. This Reddit link details very clearly what each video is about and hyperlinks the title so that you can watch it immediately.

Do you find personal finances confusing? What resources and tricks do you use that have helped you in the past?

Elizabeth Malkin I love Khan academy and use them for many MOC type of classes. I really like Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace/Total Money Makeover courses and driving to debt free is a great way to reduce risk and give you and your family mental and spiritual peace.

I've used Dave Ramsey's approach to get out of debt. It's helped a lot.

Great resource - It's always baffled me why subjects like personal finance are not pushed more in high school or in college - They teach you how to drive a car but nothing in how to go bout buying one. Not saying that they need to teach evaluating of stocks but time value of money is the core of understanding investing.

SPC David S., I absolutely agree! There are some core, basic concepts that are not covered that really should be. How to save, how to pay one's taxes, etc.
