<prompt> Human: I have been working at Wendys for about 10 months now, and i have been saving up mostly all of my paycheck for a future car Infinity G35. I am just wondering what would you do as an 18 year old with 10,000 to better your financial life.  <response>: When I was in high school, my friend got a 12,000 payout from the social security administration due to his dads death.He blew it on a camero and DVDs. He had to get rid of the car after only a year because he couldnt afford the insurance, and lost a ton of money.Point being: if you need a car, buy something practical. If you dont need a car, save it for college or open a mutual fund.Go traveling or do something, but dont blow it on a car.
