<prompt> Human: Hi Reddit, first time posting here. Im 23, university student I have three semesters left. Today something sort of strange happened. I received a check for 13,000USD from my affluent grandfather. Outside of setting up a college fund, and a nice check of a couple hundred dollars during the holidays, our interactions are pretty slim. I see him about every three years as he lives on the other side of the country. After I had a mini panic after opening the letter, I called my dad, who had received a check for the same amount, and confirmed to me that was not a mistake. Straight after that, I called my grandfather who said that he was very proud of my work at school, and that he thought that I could use it towards some things that interested me.So heres where Im at. Ive never been given this much money. Ive never even had this much money before. I dont want to screw it up, so here I am. There are a few big things Im trying to factor into all of this, and any opinions on how I should go forth would be appreciated.1. This is enough money, plus some, to do my dream trip. Ive been slowly saving to drive cross country from St. John, NL to Tuktoyaktuk, NWT in Canada when the all season road opens in 17-18. This is hugely important to me, and Id like to do it young, and while the novelty of driving to the Arctic Ocean is new. 2. Ive been happily in the same relationship for 5 years. Im feeling ready to become engaged soon, so a ring is something I need to start planning for. 3. Being nearly done with school, I plan on moving out of state with my SO. I cant stand living where I currently am, and same for my SO. We have good furniture, but undoubtably well need and want somethings once we move. However, my parents have offered to pay for the actual move part like a truck. Please ask any questions. Using a throwaway so Ill be completely open. Edit: wordsEdit 2: I have about 6000 saved for my trip and engagement ring.  <response>: Perhaps set up a savings account or multiple and budget how much you need for each of those things. Im not sure how far 13,000 goes in accomplishing all of them but Id guess its about enough.
