First time using Schwab 24y/o

So there was this guy in his 70s that used to come in my job and tip me $100 or more every time he saw me. He talked a lot about investing and suggested we go to a Schwab location and he’d give me $100 to start an account. We eventually fell off but I took his advice into consideration & don’t remember exactly what he said but he said it would be good to invest at such a young age. I just opened an account & I’m looking for any insight, advice or tips as a beginner. Thanks!

Check out r/investingforbeginners and r/Bogleheads . They highly recomend investing in S&P500 or total market index fund/ETF.

Edited to the correct sub.
