I pretty much just buy on an exchange with KYC, then shift to another exchange that has XMR and transfer out to my own hardware wallet. One of the mods in #monero:monero.social mentioned https://kycnot.me which is also a useful site.
After installing the wallet from getmonero, I went to localmonero.co and located a reputable seller in my country who accepted Amazon gift cards bought with cash.
I then bought an Amazon gift card using cash and kept the reciepts.
I then, as per requirements of the seller, took photos of the gift card number and the receipts to demonstrate the date and the fact I'd paid with cash. After sending these images to my PC I edited them in gimp to remove store identifying info from the receipts image, ran both images through a metadata removal tool and initiated the trade with the seller with the images. They accepted the trade and approx 20mins later the XMR was in my wallet
I physically deleted that part of the image, then filled the area with black :) and the seller actually suggested doing that in their selling notes.
The key is making sure the seller has a good rep.
thanks for using Leebra!

Greetings from our instance monero.town :)
First things first, you do need a wallet to receive, store and send monero. Good options are:
Second if you do any open source work, consider putting up a donation address. Donating with Monero is easy, cheap and quick, which makes it a nobrainer. Depending on what you do, you might want a separate wallet for that (maximum anonymity), otherwise a sub-account or sub-address give sufficient private for most users.
Finally if you need larger amounts to spend, you need some exchange. The most popular P2P one is localmonero.co, trocador.app is great if you have other crypto already and kraken.com is the best KYC exchange.
Have fun, and feel free to ask any of us if you have any other questions.
