Even the casual searcher for topics on financial literacy will see that there are a plethora of resources on the web. Many contain great information, but some are thinly veiled ploys to get consumers to buy something they don't need. In the "Ultimate Web Guide" section of NYSE Money Sense, we offer a curated selection of some of the best resources for personal finance education and learning. They correspond to the main Money Sense topic categories: Earn, Spend, Save, Borrow and Protect. 

A growing number of women are taking on the challenge of making financial literacy fun—or least palatable—to a female audience. There’s the cheeky how-to guide “Shoo Jimmy Choo” by Catey Hill as well as the books “Hot (Broke) Messes” by Nancy Trejos and “A Purse of Your Own” by Deborah Owens.
