To improve your financial literacy, I recommend reading additional mainstream books and seeking out the counsel of more experienced people you respect. Not necessarily those with apparent wealth but those with their financial acts together. Unfortunately, it is easier to find the former than the latter. As far as your children, be the best role model. In my mind, it is no different than other aspects of parenting. Lots of misinformation and "better" ways to do it, but nothing can be as powerful or substitute for <i>your</i> behavior. @Kaelan: Glad your university gave you a copy of Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck!

I still feel completely in the dark about most financial matters. I am just grateful that my school had sense enough to give me a copy of this book along with my diploma. What, practically, can we do to improve our own financial literacy, or our children's? Wow…as a recent college grad (from a very prestigious school, none the less!)
