<prompt> Human: So im a 19 year old full time college student. Whenever I get money, I tend to go through it very quickly and end up being broke all the time. Ive had a few jobs in the past and plan on getting one this spring semester, so I wanted some advice on how to better manage money. My parents pay for my living and tuition, and currently my living expenses as well. The money I use for food, alcohol, etc is all theres and I dont want to keep using their money, especially since my schedule allows me to have a part time job. Ive already made it my goal to take a certain amount from every check and strictly save it and only spend it if needed, like an emergency. But I also need to learn how to better spend the money that ive set aside for use, and make it last me as long as I can. Assistant: Depends how much money youre bringing in a week, and what you are responsible for paying for. If you smoke the ganj, stop smoking the ganj and watch your account flourish lolHuman: Well Im gonna try to work Friday, Saturday and Sunday and try to get as many hours as I can but not go overboard. So if I was to get 5 hours a day for those three days, I would make around a hundred a week but thats not including taxes and stuff that will be deducted. And yea youre right about that lol  <response>: Lets be honest here. A hundred a week or so isnt much cash at all. Enjoy yourself, use your work money as play money when youre making that little. As a college student, youll be doing yourself a huge disservice if you save every cent you can and neglect interacting socially with other college students. Use your part time job money as play money, and in a couple years when you get an actual, legit good paying job, then start saving. You should be enjoying your college years. One of the biggest benefits youll get in college is the networking you do with your fellow students, and having one of them call you up in a few years and dude you need to apply for this job, I can get you in. Meet people. Go to gatheringsconcertstalksetc. That stuff costs money. Take that girl or guy out on a date. If you really want to save money, take 20-40 out of each paycheck the second you get it and put it into a savings account that you never touch. But really, were talking about such a small amount of money, I wouldnt worry about it until you graduate.
