<prompt> Human: Ive been put into a fortunate situation where Ill receive roughly 1,000.00 a month for being a student, I live with my parents still and I go to school in my spare time, I dont work due to my 1k a month income. My bills are paid for until I move out, but I want to get into the habit of setting money aside for rent and things. Each semester, my school and books are completely paid for by some scholarships and grants and then I receive roughly 2500 in a refund per semester. Id like to start investing maybe? I just dont want to piss away my money and just coast through college without any idea of what its like to budget, where can I start? Thanks a lot!  <response>: For young people in the US and other developed countries, this advice will apply pretty well most of the way through college, below the age of 20 or so.
