Bogleheads is great, also recommend Money Guy on YouTube. Generally, for most people starting out, would recommend putting your money in low cost index funds through a brokerage like Vanguard or Fidelity, dollar-cost average by putting in same amount each month (automate if possible), and avoid individual stocks.
