<prompt> Human: First, Id like to say that I never expected to receive any kind of inheritance from anyone in my family. I didnt have a relationship with the person who left this to me.Ive never had this kind of money in my life. I grew up in a very low socioeconomic class, so I value money when I have it. I currently go to a private liberal arts college on the east coast where nearly 70 of my tuition is covered by need based financial aid. The rest is covered by scholarships and grants. The small part that I still owe will be covered by this inheritance around 4000. Im looking to save most of the money. Im interested in buying a few things for myself, like a laptop and camping gear, perhaps a plane ticket to Europe for spring break.Im looking for advice regarding what I should do with the amount of money I keep. Do I invest it? Green energy is exploding and is also an ethical investment for me.TLDR; Im 19 and what is this?  <response>: This is a friendly reminder to visit our FAQ entry on WindfallsYou might also benefit from this common topic: I have X, what should I do with it? and Whats the best way to pay down my debt?Also, please visit our FAQ!I am a botrAutoModeratorcommentsq11puwhat_is_automoderator, and this action was performed automatically.
