Brand New investor looking for guidance

[Moe Afifi]

Hey guys,

I know you guys probably see a million posts about new investors. I am 21, saving up money for the next couple of months while I finish up college and would like to invest after graduation. In the meantime I want to read and understand things that’ll help me start my journey. My main question is:

What would you recommend to a younger version of yourself when you first started? Also any initial books or information that is essential?
