There is no 100% safety. Even when using a brainwallet, at some time you will need to type it in if you want to move BTC to a hot wallet, and at this point there is potential for hacking.

i was reading something about wallets with outgoing transactions are less safe?

so if i use my wallets it is less safe. what is best wallet?

Cold storage and Trezor are the best in terms of wallet security. You could put most of your bitcoin there, and keep a small amount of bitcoin on a hot wallet for your daily use.

start with little amounts of BTC and learn how to handle.

nothing is safe lol.. If you can't buy a hardware wallet, then protect your account/wallet by 2fa or sms code. use blockchain online bitcoin wallet it has very good security.

Buy a Trezor  Grin

Yea, everything you do on your computer can be cached or recorded and trojan's and phishing software can catch your keystrokes, thus gaining access to your passwords.

The best option would be, to keep the coffee budget online and the Lamborghini budget offline {Paper wallets}    Grin Grin

You can have a wallet in custom hardware, on your desktop, web wallets, on your mobile and there are paper wallets. Each solution has its own risks. Your desktop could be vulnurable to virusses and trojans. A paper wallet on the other hand, could get broken if not laminated. Always make sure you have an official wallet and create backups.

Personally I would not recommend mobile phone or desktop for holding large amounts of bitcoins.  Web wallets could be a major risk, because you have to trust the someone else takes care of the security and does not run off with your bitcoins.
