CFII
CF Finance Acquisition Corp. II Class A Common Stock
stock NASDAQ

Im 19 years old and want to set myself up for a successful future. I have little to no knowledge about investing, money, life, finances, etc and want to learn. I’m very fortunate enough to have money to start and no debt. Currently I have $80,000 invested into VXUS/VTI, $15,000 in a HYSA, and $5,000 cash. My car is paid off and my parents pay insurance and registration. My biggest expenses are $1800 rent, $600 food, and $300 gas. My knowledge has mostly came from the internet overtime by watching YouTube videos or asking chat gpt. I never went to college and I want to be an airline pilot. I just finished flight school as a CFI/CFII but finding a job as a flight instructor is currently hard and the waitlist is months long. Also flight instructors don’t make very much. What do I do in the meantime? If I started renting planes that would significantly increase my expenses. I also bring up that I want to be a pilot because that affects whether I can live with my parents or not because I have to be willing to move around. Any tips on how to become financially literate (starting with the very basics), where to start, investing, general life advice, etc. I have two books called investing 101 and the psychology of money I have yet to read. Thanks!
