I once read "I will Teach you to be Rich" by Ramit Sethi. It went into a fair bit of detail on this.
I didn't finish the book and can't really recommend it, since most of the advice was very US-centric (e.g. optimizing credit scores isn't relevant for me). But it might be a starting place.

You know the drill - If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
