<prompt> Human: Im about to inherit 10k on my 18th birthday and I dont know what to do with that amount of money. I have no debt, I have no car payments to make, I dont owe anyone anything, and want to make responsible decisions with my money, to show my parents I can be independent with money. I want to spend a small amount of it on things for myself clothes, a car, driving lessons which Im willing to spend up to 3k on, but dont know how I should investsave the restTIA!  <response>: Last summer I spent 1500 tpnfly to Amsterdam to then go on to Berlin, Prague, Krakow, Budapest, Vienna, Venice and paris. For 4 weeks. The entire trip cost me the 1500 and was an amazong experience just backpacking solo and meeting new people. Im 24 and wish I had done it sooner. The rest maybe save for a deposit? Sure wish I ever got that sort of money to help me along a little! Itd be great for you to start planning to get on the property ladder. Just take everyones advice you hear. Think what works for you and be smart!
