<prompt> Human: To start off Im a freshman in college and Im gonna graduate college with about 19,000 in debt. Id like to invest this 2000 in the next five years to help me pay off the student loan debt I know Im going to have. What should I do?Assistant: Honestly given your timeline Id probably just put it in a bond fund. 5 years isnt long enough for stocks if youre going to need it at the end.Human: Can you explain how a bond fund is different than stocks?  <response>: Because bonds are not stocks. Theyre a completely different kind of investment with a completely different risk profile. You should read the sidebar to learn some basics.
