1) Read Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki (he gives a very good fundamental introduction to investing in that book although I don't recommend his more advanced books.)
2) Listen to the Dave Ramsey Show and read some of his tips on his website.
3) Read financial news from the Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Bloomberg, Seekingalpha.com. Except for the latter, don't read news too frequently and/or look into it too much. Get a sense what other people are thinking. Their predictions are not as important as the reasons behind their predictions.
4) Read The Crawling Road for some practical conservative investing advice. Start small, using money you can afford to lose.
I would appreciate any suggestions for books, videos, blogs, etc that are great for helping someone organize and optimize their financial situation.
I am particularly interested in advice on learning about the stock market and many other financial instruments & transactions.
Thanks.
I read the articles on this website every day. This is a learning website and has articles from all viewpoints..the bulls and the bears.

A while back I remember hearing about a financial online news outlet called the Motley Fool.
If memory serves me correct it was supposed to be a great resource for laymen to learn about finance.
Still that was a while back, so if anyone knows of a similar resource/s, please feel free to share.
Morningstar is a great resource--although I pay a yearly fee for premium services, they have a ton of stuff available for free, and they have a huge series of online investing classes that are totally free.
I may make posts critical of America on these here forums, but one of the greatest things about America is the opportunity it allows someone to build wealth.
I do and take a hit now and then, but I bounce back better than before with the knowledge I gain.
