<prompt> Human: Hi everyone. For the first time ever, I received a sum of money 15k which comparatively is a small amount in the grand scale of things but to me its a little overwhelming. The old me would buy car parts, maybe even a new car but the responsible adult in me wants to do something different this time. I want it to grow, and of course it wont be over night but I am curious on the options I have with this money? Currently Im renting a house about 3 months in now and have a small car note, 300. Ive gotten advice from people, but they arent exactly finance savvy. I would like to hear some advice and or criticism on what I can do with it that would be responsible. I appreciate everything on this sub, thanks.  <response>: Did you check out this graph?
