Brand new to the Stock Market, many questions and lots of confusion.

Hi all, I'm brand new to this sub so excuse me if this post belongs somewhere else. Please direct me if it is not allowed.

My main objective from this post is to learn as much as possible with the help of you all and set a course for myself moving forward, but first a little bit of background about myself.

Currently I'm going into my senior year of college (thank god), and I'm looking into the near and distant future financially. Unfortunately as of right now I'm in a paycheck to paycheck situation barely getting by because of the amount of time I dedicate to school and I can honestly say I'm tired of it. My sudden interest in the stock market and investing hasn't actually been so "sudden". I've always been interested in investing and eventually making lots of money I just haven't been able to reach out to anyone close to me for guidance as most of my family and friends are not involved in any way with stocks or anything like that. So hopefully reaching out to this post will help me!

So right now when I graduate I'm looking at roughly 16k-18k in debt as well as other personal loans I've taken out and such. I have little to no money saved as I stated above its a paycheck to paycheck situation.

So my question is what can I do as a broke (literally completely broke lol) college student looking to jump into the stock market and start bettering my future financial life? Are there books or online sources I can read to get started? Who should I talk to to get started?

Any replies or suggestions or help or anything else I may have missed in my background that would be needed will be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!
