How do you get money so you can go shopping?

I'm new on Sl and I'm wanting to know to get money so you can shop?

You buy it.

Read the information in the Knowledge Base at https://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Billing/ta-p/700037 to understand how to register a payment method ( a credit card or a PayPal or Skrill account).  Then visit your dashboard at secondlife.com and look on the left sidebar for the Linden Exchange, where you can buy L$.  The current exchange rate is very close to L$1000/$4 USD.  You can live quite comfortably in SL with no more than you would spend in a week for a few cups of coffee in RL.  In fact, unless you want to go wild buying things, you can live for ages with no L$ at all, or with just what you can pick up as pocket change by playing games like PaleoQuest or LindenRealms.
