Off-topic, but can somebody recommend me a book on economics? I need to learn how things generally work in the world and how to manage my money. I'm almost 25 and I have zero clue what I'm doing besides "I need a bigger salary and save more".
I would focus on investing, particularly defensive investing.

If you want the easiest allocation possible put some portion of your paycheck in an S&P500 fund and in 40 years you should have enough for retirement.
Good luck!
But it’s just a data point… gotta do your research.
