I (20F USA) know virtually nothing about finance, but I would like to gain financial literacy and begin investing. I make very little, about $7,000 a year, as I am a student.

My main questions:

- How much of my income should I be investing?

- Where are good places to start learning?

- What things should I be aware of?

Essentially, I just need the beginner's finance for dummies info. I apologize if my questions are too vague. I'm at a stage where I'm not even sure what to ask.

Thanks!

EDIT: The 7k is the spending money I make from working odd jobs. My parents help with food and living expenses. I want to know how to handle the extra cash I make.
