<prompt> Human: So in a nutshell: Im 24, working 2 jobs. On the weekends I work in a bar. Over the past year Ive saved up 25k just from the bar. Half of it is sitting in my savings account. The other half is cash... sitting in my room in a box. Yes I know thats stupid. But Ive been slowing depositing the cash into my savings about 2k at a time. Ive been told not to do that so I dont get audited but I dont like having that much cash sitting in my room. Does anyone have advice on how to go forward? Should I be depositing everything? Should I invest my money? If so, how? Im literally an idiot when it comes to finances. Any advice is appreciated.  <response>: Dont screw yourself over on taxes.
