<prompt> Human: Ive been working since about October of 2017 at a department store making pretty good money, and Im just curious as to how much a typical teenage boy should have saved or rather, what most teens my age have saved , being my age and whos been working as long as I have. I believe in total I have made somewhere in the ballpark of 5,000. As of now I have around 2,300. Im disappointed in my current wealth and would like to improve. The only things I consistently buy are food, clothes, and gas. Any and all help is accepted and appreciated!  <response>: Dont compare yourself to other people - it doesnt matter and its not a healthy way to measure things. Compete against yourself, not strangers.There are people born into millions who squander it all and still have millions left. There are people born into war and poverty but become very successful.All that said - the typical 17 year old boy probably has ZERO dollars saved, and has not earned anywhere near what you just said. Whatever you are doing, keep it up and see how you can keep growing.
