I understand time in the market is better then timing the market in most situations. But..

If I’m 19 years old and just started my Roth (maxed it out). Is it a good idea to put the rest of my money (about $5000) into index funds/ ETFs right now? I can’t afford to lose that money and I need to pay $6000 in rent next year for college. Do I stay in cash? I’m very new to the stock market and don’t like risk.
