This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If this is legit (lol) then the real answer is split up, and stay single until you find someone who you'd never refer to as 'bitch'

Yep yep yep.

I would suggest anon takes that 18k, sets aside ~75% of it in some kind of savings or investment scheme, start that nest egg early.

(No, not fucking crypto, probably just find a high yield savings account)

Or, wipe out any existing debts first.

.......

Then, take whats left, and consider:

Fix up your car,

Get some good quality clothes and shoes or boots that you will be able repair and maintain, get the tools that enable you do to that,

Get a good and comfortable mattress and quality pillows,

Get some good quality cooking appliances that are relatively portable and will enable you to make decent meals from scratch, or at least closer to scratch,

Unironically, consider getting a bidet... toilet paper is expensive, a reasonably priced bidet addon to a normal toilet can pay for itself in a few months,

Basic repair toolkit for electronics, and also basic repair toolset for around the house/automobile type stuff,

Some basic, not stupid expensive, home work out / strength training equipment.

......

Ya'll see where I going with this.

Use that other 25% to buy actually useful things that lay a more solid foundation for the rest of your life.

Solid foundation?

You're much more likely to be able to buy that motorcycle or gaming pc or what not in another year or two, all without having to touch that nest egg for anything other than true emergencies... if you can keep working at whatever you're working at, from that stable foundation.

...

Take that Bali trip in 5 years or a decade when you can actually afford it, not instantly with someone who's first instinct upon coming into money unexpectedly is to spend it on something ephemeral and temporary.
