I need to make my money work but I don't have enough knowledge about the topic to do smart things with it, but I love studying and learning new things.

What would you recommend to learn how to administer money in the best way possible?

I found a 2008 edition of the Finance Theory I [1] course on MIT OpenCourseWare , would it make sense to learn from there?

For context I studied computer science with a focus on artificial intelligence, machine learning and data science.

Also context, I am in the EU (Italy).

It's great that you're eager to learn—your background in data science actually gives you a big edge in understanding personal finance logically. I’d recommend starting with practical, proven resources like the Bogleheads wiki and the book “The Bogleheads’ Guide to Investing.” They focus on simple, long-term strategies that work.

The MIT Finance Theory course is solid, but it’s more academic and may be overkill for personal finance goals. Start with foundational topics: budgeting, saving, indexing, risk tolerance, and tax efficiency—especially in the EU context.
