<prompt> Human: Hi internet parents! I apologize for any formatting issues as Im currently on mobile.I will be getting about 3000 CAD a month as a result of a lawsuit over my birth injury. This goes until Im 65 but the amount per month will get eaten up over time.Im a 17 year old from Ontario, Canada. My birth injury was a result of malpractice and my parents didnt decide to sue until about 3 years ago. The money is coming in the form of a structured settlement not indexed for inflation. I know this is a lot of money for a 17 year old and I do not want to ruin this opportunity that has been given to me. I know I want to invest this money but I do not know how to. Both my parents are supportive and helping me through this but Id like to see what you guys would do if your child was in this position. Im terrified of making the wrong decision and screwing up my life.I would like to get into a rental property but from the research Ive done I cant sign a legally binding contract until Im 18 even if my parents were to co-sign a mortgage. Ive thought about buying a car but I really have no where to go. Im doing a home study program through my school and I dont have a job. Im looking for some reasonable and realistic ways to invest my money while improving my life right now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  <response>: Save your money while your parents are still providing for you.
