Personal Finance Book Recommendations, Tips, and Resources to Learn?

Will start my career in IB this upcoming summer and would like to learn more about personal finance before I start. I'm currently reading the Richest Man in Babylon, and really like the book. But after I finish that, I would like to learn more about the specifics of personal finance, particularly for someone like me, a young white collar professional that lives in NJ but works in NYC. If anyone could share, thanks!  

Edit - Forget to say I also just started watching Khan Academy's Financial Literacy playlist.
