Just bought this sweet shoe rack from Costco for $28. It's stackable too.

so my old man just sent me $5000 to buy bitcoin with, now should I just go with coinbase or? I'm trying to increase my limit to $500 with my drivers license info just wondering what max limits are since I would like to buy it all right now of course.

Just a wallet and buy off him. It will be cheaper and a lot less hassle.

$5000 worth, it would be worth getting hardware wallet. Like Manic said, people here have offered to sell BTC at current price. Just wait for someone to contact you (pretty sure it's against site rules to advertise within a thread) and have them meet up and transfer to a hardware wallet once you get one.
Trezor and Ledger Nano S are the popular ones IIRC
If you want to do it sooner, make sure you have a very secure computer and use Electrum. Transfer to a hardware wallet later (asap)

I honestly haven’t even heard of a hardware wallet before, how would I get one of those? Like I said I don’t know much about this just looking to gamble some money right now.

I was under the impression that the wallet can only be opened with your private key?

Oh shoot, I forgot coinbase has a super low limit... There's no way around that really. My friend's limit is $1000 but that's after he had the account for awhile.

Harware wallet
Pro
- completely off the grid
Cons
- There is a fee to transfer to the hardware wallet
- if you lose the hardware wallet you're screwed
- if the hardware wallet fails, you're also screwed.
Online wallet
Pro
- easily accessible
- can trade other crypto currencies easily
Con
- can potentially get hacked online
( But if you enable 2 factor authentication (2FA), your wallet may get hacked, but they won't be able to withdraw the funds without the 2FA code)

My friend's limit is $1000 but that's after he had the account for awhile. | The wallet itself may not have its encryption solved, but there are ways to get you to do it for them, for instance a keylogger when you're entering the password, or forcing you to do it, etc. This is especially dangerous if you have your wallet on a "main" computer that sees a lot of use, putting it at risk with everything from visiting sketchy websites to pirating software (REALLY risky). It would be like walking around town with your entire bank balance in your back pocket. Sure you're most likely not going to get robbed, but who knows right?
Online wallet is probably the most convenient for actually spending bitcoin, just don't keep too much of it in one. If you don't own the private keys yourself, you don't actually hold anything. They own your bitcoin, and are letting you spend and receive it.

The fees to moving is regardless of wallet, that's just the transfer fee. Even if you move to an online wallet, it will cost you the exact same.
If you lose your hardware wallet or fails, you can always access your bitcoin with a recovery.
Remember, if you leave your bitcoin on an exchange, you don't own the bitcoin but it's simply an IOU from the exchange promising you they will give you that amount when you want it. If the exchange gets hacked or goes bankrupt, you aren't getting your bitcoin.

Does anybody use a paper wallet? Seems awfully low tech in this high tech world but appears to offer much of the safety of a hardware wallet at 0 cost?

-Mark | Better user experience.
If the hardware wallet is stolen/ lost, they still need your PIN or recovery phrase to access the coins. You can just buy the same hard wallet from manufacturer and recover using the recovery phrase.
If the piece of paper is stolen/ lost, you lose everything.

Exchanges want high traffic coins. More transactions, more fees, more money.

Regarding coinbase...  | |
