Throw out trading options, cryptocurrency, and individual stocks. Mutual and index funds are where you should focus most of your effort. Real estate is good but often requires a lot of capital to get into so might not be until later in life.

In order of importance in my book 401k up to match, Roth IRA, max 401k, long term savings like a house and car down payments, and brokerage.

There are other accounts like has/hra but that depends on what kind of health insurance you have.

rich dad poor dad (personal finance), costar for real estate (commercial real estate news), intelligent investor (can be a bit of hard read without much financial knowledge), richest man in Babylon, changing world orders & big debt crises by ray dalio, physiology of money, why nations fail, barbarians at the gate (LBO).

Those are the finance books/websites I can remember I liked off the top of my head. I would also recommend finding a way to get Bloomberg to just keep up date on thing. I managed to get around the pay wall.
