Financial Literacy Tools/Sources

What websites, books, excel guide, article etc. has helped you become more financially literate besides guides such as BIWS which most people on here know about. Ideally, something more straight to the point.

Does anyone have some sort of resource, either personally or from work, that covers relevant information in the Private Equity world? Is there any website you recommend that can brush ones skill with finance lingo and evaluation?

You can also PM me.

Thanks in advance.
