<prompt> Human: Received 3000 for a car insurance payout from when my vehicle was struck by another driver. I have a few hundred dollars in unpaid toll tickets, and owe my roommate about 500 in back rent from when I hit an unemployment patch we rent a 2 bedroom apartment, so that basically speaks for a third of it. Whats the best thing to do with the rest? I have about 100 in the bank right now, and about 150 tucked away in my Acorns account. Was thinking of setting up an ezpass account to not have toll violations anymore, putting maybe 500 into my 02 Trailblazer to get it through the winter, and putting 1,000 into my Acorns account to make sure I dont spend it and have it grow. That leaves 500 to plop into my checking account Does that sound financially wise? Any recommendations you guys can give me?Assistant: Put it in a separate savings account that you dont have easy access to and use this as your emergency fund.Human: Thats kindve what Ive been doing with Acorns, not a good idea I know, but since it take a few days to withdraw funds I havent drawn from it to splurge on stuff.  <response>: Too risky, acorns can be play money but should not be your emergency fund.
