<prompt> Human: I am currently 18 years old and a freshmen in college. I have saved up 50K dollars from working in high school and I have basically no expenses so that money just sits in cash, my parents pay for my college etc. I want some creative ideas on my options. I have no idea my career path let alone my major, and am not set on continuing college if the right opportunity arose. I have considered buying property as an investment or starting a business. Basically I think I have set myself up in a unique way but I feel like Im doing the same thing everyone else is doing. Guide me Reddit!  <response>: Keep an emergency fund of a few thousand dollars. Save a little more for moving expenses when you graduate car, a couple months rent, security deposit, etc., or if you dont graduate. Fund your Roth IRA this year and next as long as you have enough regular income. Then see if you have the fundsdesireability to get into properties or a business.
