Personally I'd recommend using a trezor for cold storage for now until foundation comes out with their XMR updates, or if you're comfortable with DIY then explore monero Signer.
Cake Wallet, or Stack Wallet for hot.
Explore types of businesses you'd like.
Reach out to the community, and ask around, learn more about the currency, and ecosystem.
Plenty of xmr people here too like nostr:nprofile1qqs27aqdrx96hwx8hqks53ccav65hvlk47dfscumsh22tncnw89t4pgppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejz7q7z90p nostr:nprofile1qqsdxcw9yt7zjxcag79j80xueqvr35r2qc0p6mnxk3kr9rd2kmlgslqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctv9uq32amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wdau8gu3wv3jhvtc68p7ja nostr:nprofile1qqsd2ny9lfjgxcu7xpkm8maqlrrt70meefsa78793w7ra8yar6zsfagpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hszxmhwden5te0dpshvetw9e3kzmrkvyhxgetk9a5kucn00qq3uamnwvaz7tmgv9mx2m3wv46x2unwv9kzuemydchk7at5vfhhsvphlzn nostr:nprofile1qqsgwucgya472r8fhta8uh3hfe8uha0fskdzryv0xjawl5qqw34h6dgpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd6xzuny9ehhyee0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uztph0l nostr:nprofile1qqs0lwcu2ay0j0lysa5tfya5z9ak53mkmc629tncm7eh8l58j3gs2cqpzamhxue69uhkzarvv9ejumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytfsxyh8jcttd95x7mnwv5hxxmmd9uhcffhs nostr:nprofile1qqsp8qm7ye84fhdj5j8m3nnlzll2mz0tqp28l3rhxjv70z5gwlppgucpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43z7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsnz5cyg , and more!
If you have questions don't be afraid to ask, I asked a lot of questions when I was a little noob 4 years ago 😅 (I still ask questions).
