<prompt> Human: Hi all, First time posting so bare with me please. Ive seen quite a few Just graduated need advice posts on here, but each situation Ive read is different slightly different than mine so I guess Im looking for some advice towards my own future and I felt those of you in this sub would be great to ask!This upcoming May, Ill be graduating from my 4 year University with just over 37k in loans. Currently in my last semester, Im working an Internship that pays me 750month via stipend sales commission which averages out to about 9 of my sales. In previous years Interns have made around 20k for the 9 month Internship Minor League baseball team, so season is 9 months long. Im hoping to use my stipend each month to pay for my bills Car insurance, rent, personal loan which adds up to 645. Then as far as my commission goes I plan to save 75 not sure what thatll be given its commission and use the rest for weeklymonthly spending. Right now I dont have a ton of payments, and am able to save quite a bit due to having my car payed off as well as being a modest spender and only spending money on necessities most of the time, so Im hoping to have at least 10,000 saved up by the end of my Internship, which hopefully turns into a full-time gig after its up in September.My question is, what could I be doing right now, as far as investing, to be best prepared for the next 5-10 years and so on? Ive really had an interest in real estate, given my own personal skills with homes as well as the resources I have around me, so thats definitely something Id like to look into Not sure where to start though, as well as the stock market, only I have no idea what Im readinglooking at when I read about stocks, as well as all other forms of investing Cryptos, franchises, 401ks etc. I was never introduced to the possibility of financial independence as my parents have struggled most of their lives living just above paycheck to paycheck, so Ive made the decision that will not be me in the future, and to hopefully one day help them have the life theyve wanted me to have for so long. Should I be putting money away into other accounts? Who should I talk to? What can I do now with the money I have? I have so many questions to ask, and I hope its not too much, but Id love some advice moving forward and getting ready to enter the real world very very soon. If theres any additional information I need to provide Ill do my best to do so. Thank you all, I appreciate any and all feedback!Edit: I hope with the feedback I receive this can also help future grads learn about the things they can do as well!  <response>: Almost 35. Graduated from school 12 years ago. Still have no idea what I am doing. Welcome to the world. Take care of your body, live within your financial means, and invest in yourself. Youll do fine.
