Some people collect baseball cards, beanie babies, or stamps. I choose to collect great personal finance advice. And I have probably spent a lot more time on this than I care to admit.

For your benefit, I decided to put it all together and create the Gen Y Financial Planning Handbook. A resource to solve most of the problems and questions our generation faces.

If you have any resources that I missed, please share them in the comments.
