<prompt> Human: First of all I want to mention that I know this is a blessing and Im really grateful for my grandparents. Im currently 17 and going to college soon. My grandparents mentioned that they had around 10,000 saved for me that they will give to me once I turn 18. I havent been able to work in the States due to being dependent on my parents immigrant visa so I dont have much experience dealing with money. Im planning on going to 4-year college and Im not exactly sure what to do with the money. Currently I dont spend much money if any. I drive an electric car that I get to charge for free and my parents help me buy food and in return I do a fair share of cooking. This will obviously change once I get to college but I will be able to get a job halfway through freshmen year because I will be applying for a student visa. How much should I keep in the bank for emergencies and necessities? Should I invest or do I not have enough money to? Should I even trust myself with the money and instead put it into a bank account I cant access easily?  <response>: If you are going to a 4 year college, they will solve this problem for you and immediately take your money.
