Explain it to me like I'm 5

So i bought Elite dangerous about 2-3 weeks ago and have so far sunk about 110 hours into it.

I bought the aspx and decided I wanted to get my name onto a planet. Did that

Decided I then wanted to build a laser mining anaconda, did that.

I then bought a mk2 python for combat missions. Not great but I built it up with class A modules etc. More user error then the ship being awful.

So what now? What is the actual goal or point to elite dangerous, I'm a solo player and I've done 2 x 300+ jumps into the dark and done many more 150+ jumps just to have a look about and get some first footfall exos under my belt.

I have 600m in the bank and all the ships I really need. So what should I do?
