Just buy a good book and try to understand everything in it. Sorry i don't understand that "a site for good online toutorials idc if u have to pay monthly". There are enough sites that have free tutorials for C++, you don't need to pay anything. But as i said just buy a good book(s).

If your wanting an actual book, your local bookstore or library is bound to carry one, I live in a town of maybe 20,000 people and our bookstore sells stuff like "C++ for Dummies"; Not calling you stupid by anymeans, these books are really helpful and "dumbed down" that way everyone can understand. Your best bet, however, is to go to Google and search for C++ Tutorials and great resources come up, and you don't have to pay a dime for it, My C++ book cost me about 60 dollars and I thumbed through a few pages before I realized I was too lazy to learn it, (which I intend to pick up and learn). The only thing is though, when following a tutorial make sure you don't Copy and Paste or else you arent really learning anything, but I hope this helps!

BTW

A website I just ran into was www.cplusplus.com it had alot of stuff there, Variables, Arrays, Tutorials, (i can't remember the rest )

C++ is very powerful programming language. In my opinion the most powerful. Just don't get bored and leave it, if you got time.

I recommend "Beginning C++ Game Programming" by Michael Dawson (ISBN: 1-59200-205-6) and "C++ Programming for the Absolute Beginner" by Dirk Henkemans and Mark Lee (ISBN: 1-931841-43-. Both are geared toward teaching the basics with a "game-oriented" approach.

XoaX.net ------- Good Tutorials for Console Applications (Those that looks like CMD (Command Prompt)) and also alot of Win32 tutorials, im sure you will learn atleast something, but i recommend you start with Console Applications, Easier start. Theres also lots of other C++ Tuts.
