2dAmen. If you need help, hit me up. I had zero financial literacy when I graduated from college. My boss was stunned (I started as a newspaper reporter) when he sent me cover the old "drop off the tax forms at midnight April 15" story and I told him I'd never filed taxes (after two years out of college). I didn't know I was supposed to. I've since been a reporter an later in marketing for both higher ed and financial services. Shocked today's young adults know so little.
