Save money and buy appreciating assets. Can also be collectibles.

Just research before investing, think about what the future might hold, and what kind of businesses can grow in that kind of environment. You aren't going to get rich from it, but your money can grow more and faster than a savings account. Start with something free and simple and just get a feel for it, dump a couple hundred dollars and learn as you go, once you get more confident, invest more if you want. If something drops, don't be eager to sell it, just sit on it and see what happens. It constantly spikes up and down, that's not much of a concern.

If you're actually interested and willing to read, but an intro investing book imo. There are plenty of good options. My personal preference is A Random Walk Down Wall Street, because it is written for beginners and can be used as a launching point for further study (especially for other viewpoints than this particular author) or it can serve adequately as the only investment book you ever read.

Max out tax free accounts, buy broad s&p 500 index funds, and acquire real estate. Do that for 10 years and become a millionaire.
