<prompt> Human: Im 17. Ive held a part time job since the summer and its really been wearing me down. Ive shoved about 4000 in my savings account because Im pretty sure thats what Im supposed to do. Im a senior in HS, I already have a car, no bills, but Im going to college next year. The schools Im looking at, after scholarships, will be around 20k per year. Not bad, but certainly still not cheap. My parents will help me out a bit, but my brothers will be going to school soon too, and as nice as it would be, my parents cannot afford to put all three of us all the way through school.Basically, Im asking if I should be stressing about money so much? Most of my friends dont have jobs and still just mooch even gas money off their parents. The ones that do just spend their paychecks on useless shit. I really hate having to work so much on top of school, is it okay to just not worry about money so much when Im still pretty young?  <response>: Dont ever compare yourself to other people - do whats best for you. Looks like youre doing OK and look into getting a job while in college. A penny earned there means a penny you wont have to pay back plus interest.Dont stress about money when there are plenty of options - dont let it ruin your life.To answer your title question: I was 11.
