What is a good magazine for a college student to read regarding finance and money?

I am looking to subscribe to a magazine to make me more aware of global markets, investments, reitrement, savings, etc. I don’t want a magazine that is too complex because currently, I have student loans and can’t invest a whole lot. I just want good basic money tips. I have looked at Kiplinger Personal Finance Magazine, Money Magazine, Smart Money Magazine…Any suggestions for a good finance/money magazine for a 20 year old?? THANKS!!

I like lots of those mentioned above esp. WSJ. I also like Barrons.

    Far Eastern Economic Review base in HK used to be good. but now belongs to Dow Jones which is biased.
    also the Economist, a British Journal

    You should subscribe to the Wall Street Journal – which will give you a overview of all financial arenas (personal financials, government, corporate, world, etc).

    If you want a magazine on personal finance, i would probably select Money. It is written in an easy to understand format.
    – It’s similar to SmartMoney but I think Smart Money is a little dry reading and doesn’t have as good of articles

    Subscribe to Fortune, Money, and Smart Money.
