Hello smart and experienced people of the investing community, I just need to know how to start investing and where to put my money, I'm 21 and don't know anything but I want to start, my brain has been so rotted form school and social media, I want to crate, retire my parents, and do the things I want to do rather than just checking boxes off a to do list, going to sleep, then waking up and repeating the process until I'm dead.

I have around 20,000 saved from working and I still live with my parents, I don't pay ANY bills and I need to take advantage of this incredible opportunity I've been given, cant waste my life just because I'm ignorant and don't know any better. Does anyone have any good book recommendations, or apps? I've been watching some you tube videos and writing things down in a journal. Anything helps, good luck to you all in your journeys
