The series of booklets are provided by U.S. Financial Literacy and Education Commission and snappily called the My Money Tool Kit.
The tool kit contains the following publications:
* Consumer Action Handbook – A resource directory that provides information on how contact specific businesses and local consumer protection offices.
* Consumer Information Catalog – Listing of consumer education resources available from the Federal Citizen Information Center.
* Get the Facts on Saving and Investing – Provides helpful tips and worksheets for calculating net worth, income, and expenses.
* Insuring Your Deposits – Information about how FDIC insures deposit accounts at banks and savings associations.
* Money Smart – Learn about the FDIC’s financial education program for adults.
* Questions You Should Ask About Your Investments – Advice on questions to ask before investing.
* Social Security: Understanding the Benefits – Get details on retirement, disability, survivor's benefits, Medicare, SSI and more.
Some of the title links take you to a page where you can download the pdf versions. You can also fill in the online form or telephone to get them. That's a good freebie from mymoney.gov.

Thanks very much cheapncheerful. :) I don't often think to look at government sites for resources like that but I suppose they have as many as ordinary sites. They might be better because the information will be right up to date.
I was wandering round the site and saw they have financial calculators too. This is the list.
