<prompt> Human: I recently was given a check for 8.5k. My goal for this money is to get a car, and more importantly turn this money into more money. I have no idea where to start. So where better to come then here! Please let me know some good plans to handle this money properly and successfully. Currently I have a steady job, and am looking at some other job options. No secondary education either so no student loans to worry about. Im most curious about the stock market.  <response>: 8.5K In the title, 10K in your description. Now THATS interest!
