<prompt> Human: I have a car that uses about 25 worth of gas per week. I also have a job that pays 9, but as a 2 sport athlete time to work can be sparse. My mom was in debt for a long time so I know that it is a scary thing. What steps should I be taking as a teenager to help provide financial stability as I look towards college? College itself will not be an issue as I will be getting several large scholarahips hard to describe how without giving away identity, but trust me. I want to make sure I am able to do all the things I want, especially as I get closer to college. I also have a few thousand in my savings account but I dont make any withdrawals from that account.  <response>: Dont spend more than 600 is step one.
