Hi
@kay02. I'm late to this party...
In regards to education, you ARE running your own business, and might benefit from the classes that make up a Business Administration degree. Meet with the head of the department, and ask what they can offer someone interested in being a small business owner. (If you're asked what business, say you aren't sure, but "something that's a one-man-band gig like real estate appraiser or fee-based financial advisor. Nothing with employees.")
Tax. If your gig is "like" cam girl, I'm pretty sure you can truthfully tell an accountant that you're in Entertainment... my accountant really only cares if my income is 1099 or W2, cash, etc. Just have a couple of phrases to avoid getting into it: "Oh, well, it's... technical." "It's more boring than people think." "I wouldn't know what to tell you about it." Go to the best reviewed person you can find.
After tax is all paid, check out the Investment Order.
https://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/investor-alley/investment-order/msg1333153/#msg1333153 I like the JL Collins series too. It can be overwhelming, so just read what interests you at the moment.
I think you also have philosophical questions about the
right priorities and values for someone who has resources. I suggest
The Old Money Book by Byron Tully. Check out his blog of the same name. In short, "you're going to prioritize being and doing over having and buying." Core values include financial independence, PRIVACY, the pursuit of health, education, a good work ethic, decorum, and family.
When I was just out of college, I read
The Millionaire Next Door which is a fascinating study of people who actually have millions of dollars... their businesses, marriages, what cars they drive, what houses they own, AND what total devastation is wrought by giving relatives money, which the book calls Economic Outpatient Care.
Good luck, and keep us updated.
