<prompt> Human: Hello,First off let me explain what I want to do with my life:I am currently a freshman in highschool and I have all As. I have always gotten good grades and it has never really been a problem.I have interest in being a Theoretical Physicist. I am interested in Warp Theory, but I wont get into it much.I am going to be getting my driving permit in a few months and then a drivers license soon as well.What should I start doing now to prepare myself for the future financially? Assistant: My regrets in early life was the money I spent on cars, approx 120k over 2 to 3 years. If you are male, avoid the temptation. Human: I was thinking about this. To be honest, fuel efficientcy is the biggest part for me. I dont exactly want a Ferrari, but I do want something thats not going to be social suicide, is that reasonable?  <response>: Do not care about social suicide. Youre playing the long game here, and cars are the worst form of investment ever. They immediately loose value the moment you buy one. The best advice is buy a quality used car if you absolutely need a car. If you dont absolutely need a car, do not get one.
