<prompt> Human: My passed away and left me around 15k CAD and I have no experience with personal finance. Im 20 with no debt working a minimal wage job and I was wondering whats the best approach to handling all this money? Edit1: thanks everyone for the support, Im in shock. Sorry for leaving some details out, Im kinda new to this. Im in the process of getting my pilots license and Im going to starting my schooling in September through the airforce. My main concern with this money is doing nothing with it. I want to start investing into my future now.  <response>: Well you already did something smart- you stopped to get advise and didnt go on a spending spree. Smarter people than me will help you onwards. Good luck!Sorry for your loss... Seems your dad raised a smart kid.
