<prompt> Human: So far Ive been building up my savings account by putting 10 of each paycheck Ive received into it. Its nearly tripled by now at about 3,000. My question is whats something I can do with the money Ive saved that will safely slowly is fine and surely increase my savings? Do I have to start learning the stock market? Assistant: If you want to safely and securely increase your savings, just keep saving. You will be surprised how addicting it becomes. 3k will turn into 5k and then to 8k etc. Most financial plans are derailed by an unexpected expense. Having a good cushion to begin with is an excellent choice. Im sure someone will chime in with some more lucrative plans. Human: Hopefully my unexpected expense has already passed, I spent more than I shouldve on a used car, then I spent more than I shouldve on repairs for said car, then said car stopped working. Damn unexpected expenses. Thank you though.  <response>: They always come up. Thats the third guarantee in life. Death, taxes, and unexpected expenses.
