<prompt> Human: This is my fist post here so sorry for any errors made. Just a little background. Im 17 years and am trying to save 15k by June. I know its a stretch but I am a really hard worker and always do my best. I currently am a chef at a high class restraint making 10.50 per hour. Averaging about 23 hours a week. I get played every Friday and it usually ends up being 220 every paycheck. I already have a 2,000 Emergancy fund just encase something happens but I just really need to find a way to save 15k by June! When ever I have free time my and my friend go and do yard work for people. It usually ends up being about 200-500 a month from that stuff. But my main question is how would I save that much money? The only thing I pay for right now is gas. My parents cover insurance because my father works for a insurance company. But any advice on how I can effectively save and how I would be able to make more money would really be helpful. I thank you all in advance!  <response>: Theres no secret to it. You need to spend as little money as possible and earn as much money as possible. Working extra jobs on weekends for more money is a good idea. Not going out and eating all of your meals at home is another good one.What do you need the 15K by June for, a car purchase?
