21, ex-homeless & about to receive $12,000.. I need advice..

21, recovering from being homeless from when I was 18 until last month. last night I won $12,000.. I need advice.

Hello all, Im twenty one years old, overcame homeless this month after the last 2 years of my life living on the streets with no family & living in Canada my whole life.

These last two years of my life have been hell for me. Ive been in and out of work & my Employment Insurance has ran out..

Now.. i've never had more than $3000 saved up before & I am scared of losing a good percentage of it due to my own stupidity. if you won $10k+ and had literally $100 in your bank account what would be your first steps when you receive the payout & how can i plan for my future etc.

I have a TFSA but thats about it

I graduated highschool a year early when I was 17 and have been working in the trades specifically concrete & carpentry since I was 18..

Finding employment is my first priority, but what is the smartest thing I could do with that money or smartest place to keep it to plan for my future.

my rent is $800 a month for a room rn & i want to sell my dodge 1500 truck and buy a cheaper on fuel & more reliable vehicle as well since I live out of town.

(21 6"2 130 Pounds) HELP!

Hey y'all, I'm 21, 188cm tall & 133 pounds.. I don't go to the gym although I work as a Concrete Finisher/Labourer & Landscaper 7 days a week so It's hard to find time to get a workout in that isn't just work. I was 120 Pounds in January, Bulked up to 150 from then until May & Now I've lost the bulk since working full time doing manual labour and back down at 133 Pounds..

Daily Calorie Intake: 2200-3000

Daily Protein Intake: 80g

I find my physique to be very uneven & Awkward to look at lol

I've gotten way stronger since January of this year, but i'd like to put on some more size/mass.. Any tips for gaining size while also minimizing the amount of fat i'll put on?

very much a beginner at the gym, I just got a LAT pull machine, Boxing Equipment (punching bag, gloves, speed bag etc.) Any important key things I should know to put on as much mass and size as possible? I know nothing about fitness other than, Burn Fat, Build Muscle, Eat Full Meals lol

Do you think I have the Potential to reach my goals? I'd like to be as natural as possible while still building as aesthetic body. Thank you!

any idea why this happens to my 2002 ram 1500 sport when i start it? (it shuts off on me while its running if im idling or not giving it gas while pressing the break at stop signs or red lights)

1st photo: 5 seconds after i start it. 2nd photo: 10 seconds after i start it, it doesnt gradually go to Hot either it instantly shoots right to it the moment my check gages light turns on, this is my first vehicle so i dont know much. I've replaced battery & grounded it, still has this issue. sometimes when idling or at a stop sign the check gages light turns off & the truck shuts off and wont turn back on unless i wait 15 minutes before starting it again.

(6"2 150 Pounds) Tips for gaining mass/size for a Beginner in the gym?

I've never really been consistent in the gym, but ive just moved into a new house with a fully equipped Home Gym with Lat machine, Pull up bar, Punching bag/Speed Bag & Dumbbells/deadlift bar. I've done Concrete Labour work for 1 year next month (I was 120 Pounds when I started)

I'm prescribed 50mg Vyvanse for my ADHD which has helped me stay motivated & push harder when I do go to the gym, but it also affects my appetite BIG TIME. Do I have the genetics to get big? My dads always been tall & skinny his whole life despite being really active. Any Workout routine tips or should i try and bulk? Any advice appreciated.

was this 2002 Ram 1500 Sport w/ 5.9L V8 Magnum worth the $1200usd I paid for it?

Hey y'all, new to reddit. Just picked up this 2002 dodge ram 1500 off facebook for $1200usd ($1800cad). is it worth more or less? its my first Vehicle as I just got my License. Has 316,000 KM (196,000 Miles). I have already replaced the Oil Filter, Done a whole oil change myself, Brand new Battery & I had to replace one of the Lug Studs as it snapped in half when driving on the highway on monday. Anything a new dodge owner needs to know about these trucks, or this specific model/engine? Thanks! (no idea why reddit decides to flip the first two photos sideways lol)
