<prompt> Human: Hello Reddit. Well, Im 14 and really want to start saving now and wondering how. Im lucky and my parents are pretty well off, so I know they are paying most of the college tuition for me. I did have a personal savings account where they would put the loose change and money from my grandparents and stuff, but when they got divorced, that money disappeared and I have no clue where any of it went. Anyways, since 4th grade Ive been saving money so I could have some later when I needed it more. Although both my parents have started savings accounts for me I dont really trust either having control of my money and I am too young to have my own. I have made a couple thousand from a game server I had but that is just sitting in my room with nowhere to invest or even leave it. I used to have it sitting in PayPal but I ended up buying something online and reselling it as I decided against it so now I have cash instead. Im just worried that the same thing will happen and I will lose all of my savings again.  <response>: Im not sure what your situation with your parents are, but if you dont trust them, are there any adults you do trust? Most places need to have someone over 18 to be on a minors account, so unless you have someone to open one with, you dont have many options.
