<prompt> Human: Currently Im in college and my job pays 8hr, biweekly. I usually work 12-14 hours a week. As of right now I have only 611 in my account and the total amount of clothes that I want to purchase currently costs 570. It is a lot of money compared to what I have, which is why Im hesitant. I usually dont buy a lot of clothes every year because Ive never had money outside gift cards. My Dad is telling me to save all the money I earn and budget it but I really dont make much at all, and Im sick of he clothes I currently have. I also really want them now, but I know Black Friday is this month so should I wait? I know this is insignificant but Id appreciate advice, thanks.Assistant: It is a lot of money compared to what I have, which is why Im hesitant.Thats a good thing to be hesitant when it comes to spending 90 of your net worth. My Dad is telling me to save all the money I earn and budget it but I really dont make much at allThat doesnt mean you shouldnt budget what you do earn. Your dad is right. Im sick of he clothes I currently have. I also really want them nowLearning patience when it comes to finances and saving for things you really want until you can comfortably afford them is one of lifes greatest lessons and one that very few learn early enough in life.From a personal finance perspective, your father sounds like a very wise individual.Human: Yeah he is, I just feel like as a teen with no bills and mediocre pay I might as well buy some clothes if I really want them. But its really a lot of money so Im in a bit of a dilemma. Thanks though  <response>: If you have 0 expensesresponsibilities, Id recommend using half of what you have to buy what you want and half to save. So take what you have saved today, cut it in half, and from future checks put half in savings half in spending. When you have enough for the clothes in the spending account, buy them without regret.
