I'm no "Young Dreamer", but rather the father of 2 soon-to-be college grads. I'd love to be able to present them some kind of financial guidance on the road ahead as they maneuver through life, especially their 20's and 30's. I try to give them a foundation of good advice, but I'm far enough away from that time in my life that I'm convinced I can't relate to much of what they may be encountering. Besides, a message from me about how not to get into trouble financially probably sounds just preachy enough that it's taken with a "Yeah, sure Dad" attitude. I've been impressed reading some of the posts here by those young'uns just starting out who seem to have it squared away, so I'm posting this question in the "Young Dreamers" forum to solicit the name of a book (or other medium) that you found provided not only the "how to" of sound financial planning while young, but also, perhaps even more importantly, the "why". I did a skim-search for something similar before posting this, and there are some references to be found, but they seem to go back more than a few years. I'm looking for latest/greatest, but I'll be happy to know of an old stand-by. Thanks in advance! (BTW, all suggestions are welcome, not just those from the Young Dreamers!)
