Every time I hear people talking about money, they always use complicated and confusing jargon that's difficult to understand. Where can I learn more about money and what you can do with it?

It seems that every group tries to do that, doesn't it?
Heck, go to a convention of knitters, and even they start talking in a foreign language known only to them . . .
The best way to learn is to read the financial newspapers and magazines regularly. I have listed some of the most respected ones below. They provide definitions for the terms, examples using different financial strategies, and other crutches to help people unfamiliar with the genre to become acclimated. From there, you can go to a local adult education course and get a good grounding in the basics.
After that, I recommend joining an investment club. You can find them on the internet, too, at craigslist.org and meetup.org. These groups work systematically at finding ways to invest and maximize their small amounts of money, and some of them end up making out extremely well; the pooled resources and information make the least successful of them more remunerative than most lone investors who are beginners.
Good luck!

Hmm...broad question. I recommend that you get to the grit of what you wish to achieve and then what you want to accomplish along the way. Henry Ford was nothing by himself, nor is Trump. These men, and I use those examples because I assume you are a man, have resourced out the things that they themselves are not CAPABLE of accomplishing within a 23 3/4 hours day. They have been forced to, as the rest of us have. Until you trust a person who has the knowledge that you need, you aren't going to get very far. Humility plays a LARGE role here as well. You have to become willing to ask people to put the jargon into layman's terms. For some it is difficult, but practical experience can explain it in any terms necessary. So, ask an old fart/salt who learned in the Hard Knocks University as well as others. If they are willing to do that without "looking down" on you then you can probably trust those who take the time. For those that do look down on you, don't directly invite them to your Christmas party 5-10 years from now. I hope this helps.

Maybe if you go to a Mint Factory where they make money.
