Learn Self-Control
If you don’t learn to manage your money, then other people will find ways to mismanage it for you. Some of these people may be ill-intentioned, like unscrupulous, commission-based financial planners. Others may be well-meaning but may not know what they’re doing, like Grandma Betty, who really wants you to own your own house even though you can only afford one by taking on a risky adjustable-rate mortgage.
Instead of relying on others for advice, take charge and read a few basic books on personal finance. Once you’re armed with knowledge, don’t let anyone catch you off guard—whether it’s a significant other who slowly siphons off your bank account or friends who want you to go out and blow tons of money with them every weekend.

Mama Cass : Wow. You must've been burned pretty bad, I'm sorry to hear that.
While I agree accountability for one's self is admirable and vital I must disagree about the advice of 'others'.
I went to college for IT not finance.
While I understand the basics I have a professional manage my primary accounts.
Additionally, I use a Dentist for teeth, a surgeon for surgery, etc.
Educate yourself but never assume you know more than the niche professional.
Do your due diligence is better advice, but I know you don't take advice from others (just give it).
