Personal Finance Basics - Recs?

Hey WSO Community,

I was very fortunate to be accepted to a BB IB SA program despite my background as a low-income first generation student from a 3rd world country.

Reading through some of the forum posts made me think about handling my future finances (assuming I can get a FT offer despite the ongoing situation). In my family and country in general, people live from paycheck to paycheck, and thus the vast majority of the financial terms I’ve encountered - 401k matching, savings accounts, etc - are unfamiliar to me.
I’m looking for good books/videos/podcasts that can help me build the basics of personal finance, allowing to live a comfortable life yet having some savings for a rainy day. Thanks all!
