For a very basic introduction to how, where and why you should save money and put it into the stock market, get David Bach's series of books. They are very easy to read, and quite repetitive actually. Smart Women Finish Rich and The Automatic Millionaire are my two favorites. You can check his website out at

My other favorite author Robert Kiyosaki has a completely conflicting viewpoint. His website is
www.richdad.com I've made a lot more $$ using Robert's principles, but I'm also a much more educated investor.
