<prompt> Human: my grandma recently passed back in april of this year. she was the owner She had 50 of a family owned land, and the other owner is my uncle. in total there are 200 shares. The 50 would have gone too her husband, but i guess he didnt want it, or the children are the first too get it. she has two kids: my dad and my aunt. my aunt and dad will both recieve 25, and the total worth of the land is 180,000 Give or take. so 25 of that would be 45,000. sorry if im wrong, its 3:30am where i am and im very tired. but i do know it will be 45,000. my dad is going too court today for probate i believe, so the shares are almost among us. my dad will either end up selling the shares too my uncle, or online. my dad told me he would be giving me 5000. i know it sounds pretty wierd, 14 year old with 5000 dollars and nothing too buy, but i only have two things in mind; a gaming pc 1000 and an xbox one 500, before people start telling me too put it away for college, my dad works at a college so his children get in for free Not including living there, food, or books its actually a really good college which is known for its computer engineering which is what im going for a major in. anyway, enough dilly-dallying around, my question is will anything bad happen with it sitting around, like in the bank or at my house I have a safe in my room thanks for any replies!  <response>: Heres a thought that no one else has mentioned. The possibility exists that your father is giving you the money to see how responsible you will be with it. Keep in mind, your father is a bit older, and probably wiser than you are where money is concerned. I think you should make a list of things that you want to do with the money ie: PC, Xbox, savings account, silver and gold and approach your dad to discuss the list. Listen closely to what he says, as he may give you indirect hints as to what he thinks you should do. Ultimately, it will be your decision to spend or save it however you like, but your father will always remember how you dealt with this new found cash.Source: My father really only suggested two things to me that I should do in life. Join the military, and buy a house. Two of the best pieces of advice I have ever received.
