<prompt> Human: My father passed on April 8th and my mom just flew out to Albuquerque for the weekend. She casually handed me the 3,700 check that I get for my dad dying which feels pretty fing weird. While I really just wanna deposit it somewhere and never think about it again I know that as a 2014 college grad with a B.S. in mathematics and a 37k a year job in Quality Assurance at a non-profit I have a lot of room to grow my future income. So I specifically want to explore what it might look like to invest in myself instead of in the stock market or a CD or something like that. Ideas?If it helps I live in New Mexico, have an SO, dont want kids, have mucho student debt and a few thousand in credit card debt.  <response>: Youd want to invest in your future self by reducing your current liabilities. Throw all of it into your credit card debt. Once all of your high interest debt has been taken care of, you can either put it into your student loans or a roth IRA
