<prompt> Human: So Im 17 and making a pretty decent amount for my age. I make 10.50hr working a part time food service job. One thing Ive noticed, is that for the most part, I feel like im fairly conservative with my spending despite the fact that I dont need to be. The only fixed expense I have is 85mo for car insurance its a bit over half, my parents pay the rest, which im very thankful for, I dont have to pay for my own gas once again, very thankful, and the only other thing that I pay for fairly regularly is food while im on break at work. Ive made a few big ticket purchases lately 300, and im always so stressed and I always deliberate heavily before purchasing them. I currently have a little over 2100 saved up and am hoping to break the 3000 threshold before summer ends. Im not saving up for anything, Im just trying to save for the sake of solid financial well being for the future. Im not asking whether or not I should start going on a shopping spree just because I can, but rather, should I be as stressed as I am about spending conservatively, or am I in pretty good shape for where Im at right now?  <response>: Comparison is the thief of joy. Theres always going to be someone doing better than you.Try to focus on improving your own situation step by step. Track your expenses and income regularly, and try to reduce any expenses which arent adding to your happiness.Save the remainder, invest prudently, and be patient!
