<prompt> Human: Im a musician and decided to pursue music instead of going to college. For a while Ive been playing barsrestaurantsprivate events and average 25k a year. Recently, a certain theme park has hired me to just sit and play guitar for 5hrs a day around 15 times a month. Im now 21 and making 90k a year with the new gig doing what I love. So I really want to know what to do and where I should be putting my money. Where to invest? How much to save? Any tips or advice is helpful, its just a lot more money than Im used to having and I want to be wise with it.  <response>: PAY YOUR TAXES FIRST!!!If youre 1099, youre seriously looking at 30 being taxes, be it for federal taxes, social security, FICA, or state tax.
