<prompt> Human: I wont go into details, but I was unexpectedly given 5000 recently and Im not quite sure what the best thing to do with it is. This is a lot of money for me. I work full time making about 15hour. I have no debt, but I also have no real savings either. I make enough to get by for now, and I want to start building an investment portfolio, but Im not sure where to start. I know any type of investment has risk involved, and nothing is guaranteed, but what is the safest route that I could take? I dont plan on touching this money any time soon unless something major pops up like an unexpected medical expense, so what is the best long term thing I could invest in that will have the highest chance of returning some profit and low risk?  <response>: I also have no real savings eitherEnjoy your emergency fund
