<prompt> Human: Thanks for all the ideas. Starting to get a better understanding of investing, and how to use money like this at my age. A good bit of the replies are to use it toward college. At first I didnt think it would help much, but you guys showed me how it could come in handy in the next few years. Thanks a bunch! Assistant: Keep it in a savings account for future college or vocational education expenses. The best investment you can make at your age is in your long-term earning potential through said education.Human: I dont think Im going to need it too badly for college. I should be able to get a scholarship with act scores and gpa, and Im pretty sure I have some kind of pre-paid college plan. Not sure if this will cover absolutely everything, but who knows lol.  <response>: It most likely wont. Just save it in your own name.
