I found channels like Graham Stephan's very helpful for understanding the value of money and setting personal financial goals :-) Be mindful that everyone has different goals so you don't have to listen to everything he says though, but I find his advice very prudent and straight to the point compared to some other Youtubers. If you're working, you can also look to other adults 5-10 years ahead of you and try to understand what they've done to get to where they are right now. Seedly is also a great place to get to know like-minded people and ask questions. All the best !!!​​​

Google, read and learn.

A few years back, I chanced upon a student investor who blogs about his thoughts and actions on his finances. It was one of the best blog out there for me and he will also include what he learnt from other financial writers and put up the link which allowed me to further explore and expand my knowledge in this field. Sadly, he stopped updating his blog.

Well, now there is Seedly. So many users and pros offering their advices. You can just ask and you shall be answered.

Join communities and forums and read the articles to expand your knowledge. There are many avenues for you to start from - forums (I started from HWZ), Seedly, youtube.

Seedly is a good financial platformfor beginners to be exposed to new financial knowledge,

I might as well be the only child the ways things are. My parents are definitely not role models for financial literacy but you can learn from them too- what not to do! I learnt my reading blogs such as sgbb moneysmart etc to understand better!
