What advice would you give to a financially\budget wise inept 26 year old?

I’m 26 yo and a pharmacist, I don’t make great money cause I took a job to gain more experience but I still make in the mid 80k. I do have loans and rent to pay but that’s it. I am single and so don’t spend much.

I grew up in a financially illiterate family. Meaning my parents had good jobs but never spent money or saved properly. My dad always likes to say men in my family will never be financially successful and maybe he’s right but I don’t wanna give up.

I’d like to be successful financially even though I don’t make much. It’s just so confusing and no one has ever helped me. I’d also love to find a way to make passive income.

Honestly any advice helps? I hope it’s not too late at 26
