How to develop financial literacy as a college student?

I'm a college student, but I've never worked other than doing volunteers and I've been very dependant on my parents. I'm going to start working but I also want to develop financial literacy. What are the good ways in your guys' opinion? Any websites?|||1. Find a friendly bar or convenience store that has state lottery KENO. Teach yourself financial discipline by learning how to win money or lose money at KENO without panicking. Small $1.00 bets can be very informative because you can apply a stock-broker's approach to KENO and analyze its PSUEDO-RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR (which has predictable output streams). Also learn as much as you can about Probability and then watch the KENO game with a more trained eye.





2. Join an investing club in your college.





3. Read the WALL STREET JOURNAL at least three times a week, and look up the terms %26amp; concepts you don't understand. Its filled with business jargon. Write these down in a notebook.





4. Read biographies of both: Jesse Livermore and Warren Buffett, becaue they both have opposite approaches to the stock-market and both were extremely successful. Livermore 'plunged' into Growth Stocks; and Buffett is into a 'Buy %26amp; Hold' strategy.





5. Go to INVESTOPEDIA on the internet and browse.





6. Join a stock market game on the internet: real stock market but fake money, and learn how to buy and sell stock and bonds.|||There is a book called "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" that was a good starting point for me.
