We know ... learning about finance can be a pain in the ass, and boring as hell. But, it doesn't have to be, especially if you can make a game out of it ... which they have.

Thanks to a viral Kickstarter campaign, the fundamentals of cash flow have all been bundled up into one clever set of cards ... aptly dubbed the Money Deck. It answers just about every question you ever had about dinero, and then some too.

The Money Deck is basically a pocket-sized guide to personal finance that's concisely displayed on 52 casino-quality cards. Each card delivers insightful information in a fun, light, or humorous way. The art was also professionally illustrated by an artist-contributor to The Washington Post, WIRED, and more.

Since it's the holiday season...consider this as the ultimate White Elephant exchange gift idea, especially if you have friends or family interested in these concepts. Oh, and BTW, there's even a Beer Deck available filled with fascinating facts about the popular beverage.

To make things extra enticing, we'd like to point out that both the Money and Beer Decks are under $20 making either one an even more suitable choice if that's the exchange gift maximum. So go ahead, pick one up while you still have time.
