Any decent course on Personal Finance
I will be a full time working professional in June this year. Till now I've no idea about personal finance or investing. I want to learn about all these before I get my first salary so that I can make the best use of my money. I was thinking of starting with Rachna Ranade's course on personal finance. So is it really worth it? And if there are any other courses or books which might be helpful please suggest.

There's no shortcut bro - please don't follow influences also they haven't seen many cycles yet. .. spend weekly 2-3 hrs on just reading - 5-6 months will be good enough to take your own calls

can you suggest what blogs or books I should invest my time reading?
Search money guy show on YouTube, they're a US focused channel but they have sound, tried & tested financial advice. From car buying to home purchase, insurance, retirement and abundance goals, they've got everything covered. Their financial order of operations (FOO) is also very good, you just need to translate it to Indian context and it will tell you where to put your next dollar(rupee). For investing, if you mean active direct stocks investor then Warren buffet's annual shareholder meeting over the years and his various interviews are the best source. For mutual funds investing, there are two approaches, you can buy index funds (large, small & mid caps, international indexes etc..) or if you want to delve into active MF investing then I would suggest getting a financial advisor to make a plan and do the handholding and all the hard stuff, you can just follow their plan.
