<prompt> Human: As the title says I now live in a truck and have been exploring the United States. I have no debt and no investments, all 49k sitting in a checking or savings account. I was saving to buy a house but upon house searching I decided to hit the road and have been having the time of my life. My expenses are around 500 a month, mostly gas and food. I have always been scared to invest my money, its my life savings, it gives me freedom. But I know its losing value and I should be doing something with it. Im scared if I put it in the market it will go down when I need it. And I dont want to tie it up, I like it being liquid I have no idea what my future holds or when I will need it. Please help me Pesonal Finance, put my mind at ease and help me understand my options.  <response>: Depends on how long you will go without a job. you will eventually need one. if you wanna burn all the money before getting one, then keep it in a high yield savings account
