I have taught several courses on personal finance and investing. Trust me in that there is no way you can start too basic. Most of us greatly overestimate the level of understanding most people have.

I always start with how money, banks, etc work. Also, you would be SHOCKED to know how many people could not explain what a share of stock is, or what a bond is.
