<prompt> Human: Due to some good luck and the financial wealth of my relatives, I will graduate in may with no student or personal debt. Currently I am planning on working as a paramedic for a few years after college before possibly attending grad or med school. My grandparents have told me that if I choose to attend grad school, they will be able to pay for it. I also have a car that is worth about 8-10k.I know what a fortunate position I am in, but my question regards some t0money that my great-grandparents have set aside for me. When I graduate, an account worth 30k will be transferred into my name. It is currently conservatively invested, but I would be able to quickly liquidate it, or invest it differently. Currently I have about 1000 in a checking account, and it is to assume that I will graduate with that much liquid. As you might imagine, this is a bit overwhelming for me. What would you do with this money assuming I get a paramedic job that pays 45k a year. On a related note, my dad, who is fairly well off, told me that I should be aiming to earn 100k within 5 years of graduation. Is this reasonable?Many thanks for your input.Edit: I recognize that I am in a very fortunate place, but please dont downvote me because of that. If I have made a mistake in my post format, I apologize.  <response>: Do your older self a favor and do not spend any of that 30k. Its a great beginning for a retirement.
