<prompt> Human: Im 18 with 30,000 in a CD that allows me to withdrawal sometime in December. Im looking for the best way to use this money to get ahead in life and possible invest it to make more out of it, what do you guys think would be the best corse of action to use this money to make as much as I can? Im young and have no idea how I should use this money to get the most out of it, Im considering buying a car with a portion of it, but Im not at all sure what I should do with this to actually benefit myself in the future. Would it be better to use it for college, or to take a loan and invest it into something else?  <response>: At your age the best thing you can do is use your resources to build and better your career. Probably the best way to do this would be to go to college. Trade school is another possibility. Possibly military too. So if I were you I would be applying at college. Plan on using the money for school.
