I know I'm an anomaly. I have single hooves on each leg, yet I still fly spaceships just fine.
And somehow my horn doesn't get in the way of my helmet.
Money = Robigo but not easy, it becomes easier over time when you learn how to do the tricky bits to avoid a cargo scan.
pile up an asp with fuel, heat sinks, chaff A rate fsd, thrusters, power plant not the max, just to cover power needed ; and one gun to stop cops scanning you (or not, depends on how you play) u don't need a fuel scoop.
but be warned, you will rage quit the game a few times until you master how to deal with the agro and get scanned after your 2nd jump back to the bubble. Don't take more than 3 shadow jobs for the first few tries as it just gets harder the more greedy you get in one session.
Its much safer in a Cobra III with ship handling and speed, but you have to do a lot of scooping /takes longer and you can only fit in a few missions due to cargo space, maybe safer for the first few tries though.
Getting a big ship isn't that great a thing, I spend my time in a Cob III, ASP and iCourier, I take my corvette out for HazRez playtime and that's it. The small ships are more fun and cost a lot less to rebuy if your ganked in open.

I just finished A rating my Anaconda. I bought it (and all my modules) at the 15% discount.
After D rating everything and getting the A rated FSD, I found a profitable 2 jump route. At least 5 mil an hour. That's with smoke breaks and occasional GF aggro!!
I decided to make a limit of 10 mil a day. Really it does not take too long and I did not get grind sickness.
It seemed to go quicker than my Python. The A rated power plant was a killer but the rest are not too bad. (Glad I kept my Python though).
Good luck!

Lol, thanks in the advice. I know this is waaay off topic but... How do you get that "Pilots Federation License" under your name. It looks sooo cool and im still a newbie in the forumsPatience, young grasshopper. Seriously, you've come so far, so quickly, it is impressive. But, there is the risk that at your breakneck pace, you might find yourself drumming your fingers when you do get the Anny, wondering what to do next.
As for actually getting your dream ship, well, see above. They're far better qualified than me. Still, good luck, CMDR.
EDIT: Wow serves me right for doing this so late, while trying to play RE6 HD! Totally ninja'd by Nef. Stab your eyes, Nef!
Fair warning before you take all this 'be patient' advice, robigo (& friends?) may finally get killed off after the next big update:

As for my own road to riches (well, assets), put it this way. I'd been playing since the preview program - at the point of hearing about robigo, my biggest ship was an Asp & I'd accrued about 70mil in the bank from doing a bit of everything. My dream back then was a multipurpose Python but I was still only halfway to affording it. After a couple of weeks doing robigo, I'd more than doubled my money and the Python was mine.
I then tried my hand at trading. Trade routes in a 200t Python bought me a 400t Annie. At that point, trading profits over time seemed about level with robigo. The Annie then funded a bunch of other ships including a 720t Cutter, bringing me finally to ten times the hold size of my beloved Asp - this is where trading starts to properly outdo robigo money, but it's a long grind to get there.
tldr, if you want a head start to the annie, maybe hammer robigo while you can. Cause without the big ships, making big credits can otherwise be a slow process.

Lol, I will do it while I can. And I know I will go to hell but oh well everything is for the creds by the end of the day
