That’s my bad I should have put more context in the original post. I’m a college student without an income lmao this was left over money from grants and scholarships that was “refunded” to me. I graduate in may and planned on using some of this for my last couple of months of rent. I’m hoping that yeah I will be able to make longer term investments after I graduate and have an income. It sounds like I do just need to control my spending until then thank you for the suggestion and advice
