If it were me I would take that money and invest in myself. 5k can go a long way in self improvement and growth. If that’s not necessary or appealing, idk, I dont have any experience or knowledge of investing other than the stock market. Another thought is to give it to a friend or acquaintance who would benefit enormously from it, such as someone who’s not making much money but could use a few thousand for self improvement that would double their income soon.
