Khan Academy's Personal Finance course covers the building blocks in plain language: budgeting and saving, how interest and credit work, loans and mortgages, insurance, taxes, and the basics of investing and retirement accounts. Short videos come with practice questions, and nothing is selling you anything — which is rarer than it should be in this topic. Some examples are US-specific, but the concepts apply almost everywhere. Work through the units that match your current situation first.
