Hey, 1st time posting here and I've only lurked here twice or trice to lie to myself that I'm being wise coming here for financial heads-ups and advice... Honestly, I don't think I even understand what you guys are talking about 95% of the time and probably only remembering terms to be an insufferable cocktail pseudointellectual. I'm sick of it. I want to understand money, taxes (ESPECIALLY), investments, stocks, and cryptocurrency: everything to do with money and making it grow by understanding the systems we all live under. But I don't know where and how to start; as well as there seems to be a lot of false/bad information and straight-up scams. I've come to the conclusion this will be the most honest place to help me with understanding money.
I just started my career recently soon after getting out of college and I'm finally making not-fucking-around money. Imagine my annoyed and infuriated face when Uncle Sam starts literally fucking me out of a 1/3rd of my hard-earn money. I want to stop this and get more out of my financial. The best I'm doing right now is budgeting using YNAB...
TL;DR: You guys seem to be the most honest place to turn to learn about money. Do you guys have a list of widely approved information to look into and study? I'm assuming I know 0% about money, at best 1%. I checked the catalog real quick: there doesn't seem to be any "General Financial Advice" threads and nothing I'm looking for in the two stickies.
listen bro, like all money, like fiat money, its all like fake bro, its a tinkerbell economy man... its like fairy dust... if we all believe in it, its real and stays afloat but its just dust in the end bro. but now crypto man... go all in that 100%, its like real man, really real star child

I'm about as experienced as you are. Just got out of the Marine Corps and had a decent chunk of cash just sitting in a savings account while inflation slowly ate it away. I bought like $33k worth of gold. I'm kind of just investing in real assets at this point. I don't want to keep a bunch of cash.

Haha, you're funny. /sarcasm.
Thank you, at least that's something.
Sounds like you're more experienced than me lol.

money is an illusionary store of value, taxation is theft, investments are just loaning and hoping for a return (movement goes both ways), stocks are investments and so is crypto, yet you can make decent money on crypto due to volatility

I'm going through college r/n and honestly I learned quite a bit through my Microeconomics and Macroeconomics courses. Call up your local community college / walk in the bookstore and ask for the books you need for Macro/Microeconomics. They are actually pretty helpful. They give you a pretty good understanding about how taxes work / the state and fed gov't get their income, the fed reserve (as much as that can be explained), basic economics principals. It won't teach you how to trade stocks or crypto put it's a pretty good baseline to have for life.

it is though. there's 2 types of /biz posters, scamming pajeets and oldfags, and oldfags are usually based.
this is also the only board on Jow Forums were you're allowed to have money, anywhere else on this site they figure out you aren't dirt fucking poor, they instantly flame you out of the thread.
just lurk moar and ignore the pajeets shilling cheap cryptos. the only cryptos that matter are BTC and ETH and everything else is a scam.

ah well, you might be too far into the system as it is, one day you might be ready child. you can lead a horse to water but sometimes the horse is just a retard.

Here's how I look at it.
I'm an anonymous poster who believes at best he just knows a term or two about money. The odds of me becoming a serious obstacle to someone's investments and stocks or whatever financial projects is probably in the astronomical numbers. Also, everyone loves to be an informal teacher for someone - especially if that someone sincerely is asking for advice on something said everyone feels they've become sorta-experts in through life experience and self-learning.

Make your money work for you. Pay off high-interest debt, and get high-yield assets. Buy low, sell high

I know realize how accountants and lawyers keep their jobs.

If you want to learn basic personal finance, Dave Ramsey has a lot of good stuff. His radio show also regularly posts stuff on YouTube. If you want some light entertainment, some of the callers are amusing with scenarios like “I have 200k in student loans but make 30k a year” situations.
As for books, a lot of them are on libgen. Learn how to use it.
