I'm going to suggest something crazy.

    I have about five thousand dollars saved.
-You likely worked hard for this. Don't waste it frivolously. Save it. Invest it. Roth IRA?

    I’m expecting about two thousand more from my grandfather’s inheritance.
If your grandfather knew that you would end up just fine, rent is paid, car is purchased, food is in the refrigerator, what do you think he would have wanted you to use that $2k on? What do you think stood out to him as valuable memories from his youth? Make THOSE memories for yourself with that $2k.

Good luck, I'm glad you posted, it's nice to meet you justfornow
