Erin's Favortie Finance Resources:

  1. There is a wealth (pardon the pun!) of information available on the websites of the Federal Reserve Banks.  A few of my favorites are listed below, but others can be browsed at http://www.newyorkfed.org/

    Building Wealth: A Beginner’s Guide to Securing Your Financial Future.  Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.  PDF of booklet available online at http://dallasfed.org/ca/wealth/pdfs/wealth.pdf

    Protecting Yourself from Overdraft and Bounced-Check Fees.  Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  Can be ordered online at http://www.newyorkfed.org/ (Overdraft)

    Your Credit Report.  Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.  PDF available online at http://www.newyorkfed.org/ (Credit Report)

  2. Consumer Action also has some very nice, unbiased publications.  My favorites are their Choosing a Wireless Service Provider, Families and Credit Cards, Credit Cards: What You Need to Know, Get a Car Loan and Understanding Your Credit Score.  These can be accessed online via their website at http://www.consumer-action.org/

  3. The U.S. Department of Labor has many money management publications available.  I particularly like their retirement planning materials.  My favorites are Top 10 Ways to Prepare for Retirement, Women and Retirement Savings, Savings Fitness: A Guide to Your Money and Your Financial Future and Taking the Mystery Out of Retirement Planning.  These are available online at http://www.dol.gov/ebsa

  4. The Consumer Literacy Consortium put out a brochure entitled 66 Ways to Save Money that gives savings hints in the areas of transportation, insurance, banking/credit, housing and utilities.  It’s available online at http://www.66ways.org
