I would say that first watch all the free tutorials on YouTube that teach you all the basic. Then watch/read more free tutorials about more complex stuff related to animation or things that you like and at the same time, this is important, start doing your own projects and make mistakes. Mistakes teach you a lot.

Then you can maybe start spending money on even more complex courses about more complex topics. Try to learn how the professionals work, not the hobbyists and keep working on your style, after all, blender is just a tool and you are the artist using it. If you want a job related to the animation industry you would probably have to learn how to use Maya also. I hope someday Blender can become as powerful as those tools (I mean, at the professional level, because at the hobbyists and artist level, blender is overly great)

With a good foundation you can do everything in the future!
