<prompt> Human: So Im broke as hell but after going through taxes and a temporary student loan forbearance, I have some extra cash laying around 500-1000 that I dont plan on spending. My question is, is there anything I couldshould be doing with that extra cash that could be helping me earn a few extra bucks? I know interest accounts are meager right now so Id earn maybe like 20year by putting it in a savings account, and I know 1000 isnt a lot to work with, but wondered if there were other options that would be better than having straight cash laying around.  <response>: I would focus on creating an emergency fundbackup savings account of at least 2500 to 3000.I would take half of the money to start the emergency fund, and the rest to help pay off your debt.Then learn how to budget, and make sure that when you do spend money, you spend it wisely and get greatfrugal deals.Good luck.
