Create a paper wallet https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Paper_wallet
Play with it. Import it into blockchain, electrum, armoury, bitcoin-qt.
Make a new one. Do it all again. Get happy with it.
Then send it some (small amount of) coin. Get it back. Learn to trust it.
Now do it for real. Send all your coin.Keep it secret. Keep it safe.
When you need to spend it, bring it back. Spend what you want then send the rest to a NEW paper wallet.
Of course you can keep a float for day-to-day use in an online wallet.
And do the paper wallet properly. Offline computer, live-cd boot.
