<prompt> Human: In 6 days 1130 I will finally be getting money from a case I won 9 years ago. There are just a few set backs on why I am posting this to see what my options are.1. I have a son who is 7 months old2. My job pays 11.50 an hour pharmacy tech3. Im starting pre requisites in January to become a Registered Nurse4. I spend my checks like an idiot.5. I live in my moms basement for free along with my son and girlfriend6. She doesnt work, she takes care of him. Shes a great person whom I know I will stay with. Its been 4 years. 7. I live in the Chicagoland area8. My mom wants me to give her 50009. My brother wants me to loan him 5000 for a car because he doesnt want to pay 400 a month anymore for his Altima 10. I want to move out within 6 months.IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE HELP MEHELP  <response>: I say, give your mom 2000 and negotiate with her giving her 200 or 300 for rent a month moving forward. Do not loan a penny to your brother. You wont see it back. Finally, dont spend a cent ofThis money other than rent money. Put it in a high yield savings account. Yes, stocks are great if you can leave it there for 5 years but at 17 and already with a kid and gf to support, im sure youll need the money sooner rather than later and Id suck if you needed to cash out on a downturn.
