<prompt> Human: Im currently 26. The period of my incarceration could be anywhere from 6 months to 2-3 years. As a result of this my family has disowned me and I will be completely on my own when I get out although one of my brothers may provide some assistance, which will be a first for me.The most Ill say about my offense is that it is a non violent felony.Here is the current state of my finances: 2.5k in a checking account 25.5k in a CD thats finished in 2020A balance of 11.7k in a TD Ameritrade account Around 8k in cash.Ive lived with my parents all my life and Im completely unprepared to live in my own, but I will have no choice but to learn. And I figure you guys could help me.What are the things I need to do when I get out?If more information is required, ask and I will provide such unless it could reveal my identity.Thanks.Edit1: Basically when I get out, Ill be starting completely from scratch in terms of employment and housing and all that stuff. The only thing Ill have is my personal property and money Granted, an above average amount of money.Edit2: other assets I have include a collection of headphones and pens I could sell over a period of time for roughly 3600 although these have sentimental value and i would prefer not to sell unless I absolutely had toedit3: Thanks for all the helpful responses everyone! Im a bit busy right now but Ill answer as I am able to.Also, it sucks that it had to happen this way, but a part of me is glad to finally be free of my parents influence.Edit4: I truly appreciate all the helpful comments I have received. Im confident my life will turn out quite well in the long run.I will definitely take advantage of any and all educationaltrainingemploymentetc. opportunities while in prison, with regards to trades and stuff. As Ill likely not have computer access, CS probably wont be an option.Still parsing through the financial stuff.edit5: So, cryptocurrency seems to be the way to go.Assistant: Will you have internet access to manage those accounts while in prison? I would ask your bank for locked in investments no pun intended like bonds. Something that you dont have to worry about losing money over the next couple of years. Storing the pens may be the toughest part. How many are there?Human: Pens: 6, and I plan on renting a small storage unit for all my stuff cant trust my parents not to get rid of them while Im gone paying in advance for 3 years.Internet: 99 sure I wont have anyAlso how long should my funds last me with modest living?Assistant: If I were you, I would save the 2k of storage fee costs, liquidate all my stuff, and just buy new stuff once you are out. Storing items long term is very rarely worth it. Human: With the company Im going with, it would be closer to 1400 for 3 years  <response>: 1400 is a lot for clothes that might not fit, electronics that might be obsolete. I guess it depends on if you are in 6 months or 3 years.
