<prompt> Human: I 27 will be graduating college on Friday, and my family is already offering generous amounts of cash as graduation gifts. I have financial obligations that are covered medical, credit card, car, rent by salary and i just got a raise at work. Graduating college is my personal greatest accomplishment in life thus far. I feel like the responsible thing would be to spend the money to pay off my medical bills, but i also want to buy things that are irresponsible or maybe take a vacation using the gift money to celebrate. So, is it okay to continue paying bills like usual and splurge on myself?  <response>: Personally, the following is what i would do. Spend at most 12 of it, and save the rest. I also wouldnt buy things such as a new dog but say something that would normally be beyond your expenses. For example, if you were going to buy a laptop, go a grade up. instead of settling for that 700 dollar one, by the 1200. slurge slightly on things you would buy automatically
