<prompt> Human: Im 17, and I just got my first job. Im making 200-800 dollars a month, and putting 10 directly into savings. What else can I do to set myself up early in life?  <response>: While you are still young you should be saving a shit load more than 10. In highschool and afterwards on summer vacations from college I would earn a little over 400 a week, depending on over time. I spent 40 bucks a week in gas, 40 bucks on weed and beer, and 40 bucks on food priorities right and 40 into savings.. This left me with 275 a week, and after the summer I had more than 3000 in the bank. This was enough for me to pay all my rent during the school year and eat a lot of college style food, while still socializing and having fun. The savings was not long term but it was able to get me through the school year and live a good lifestyle.
