<prompt> Human: Ok so, first , Im not the best with money. Im not bad but , right now I make 14.25 an hour working as a retail manager. Im first and foremost and audio engineer.I used to live in Los Angeles but moved home because my mother became sick, stayed until she passed away and now , just working each day .I have a 2001 Honda CRV originally owned by my grandfather and well maintained. I mention this because I would like to move back to Los Angeles where my connections in media were just starting to take off. Could I invest this to increase it ?My bills are minimal, a few credit cards and a cell phone and insurance a month but all budgeted somewhat and handled each month on time. My life is constantly moving, I dont want to stay here at home, and I dont want to let life pass me by. With 1,400, what would you guys recommend ? Anything at all besides just putting it away and saving it as Im planning to do ?Thank you Reddit for your time.  <response>: Yup, emergency fund. Its not fun or exciting, but can save you from getting trapped in debt, which will really screw you up. Youre not yet in a position to invest if thats what you were thinking.
