<prompt> Human: I 19f am currently finishing up my second year of college. I have been working as an intern for almost a year at the state as a programmer. At my one year in about a week, I can start apply for an associate programmer position. It is pretty must guaranteed that Ill get getting hired and the pay increase is pretty huge. My parents make pretty good money and are pretty good with it. They have taught me how to save, but this is going to be a huge pay increase for me.As of right now I live with my parents so I dont pay any rent. I do however have a car payment of 106 and insurance is around 290 for full coverage. I owe about 5000 on the car and have around 3000 in my bank account. When I get hired I do want to move out. Ill be paying around 700-1000 a month on rent when I do move out.What advice do you guys have with regards to saving up to move out? Also what should I do with the rest of my money? I dont plan on changing my lifestyle at all aside from moving out. edit: My only other expenses are food and my gas which combined are only around 230 a month. I also have a 15k college fund and currently no student loan debt. When I move out I will have to pay internet and utilities but those will be split and I will probably pay my parents around 70 a month for my phone bill. So my expenses as of right now are only around 690.  <response>: If you were looking for more advice than put away money for retirement and build up an emergency fund, I can also offer another strategy.Find a way to start saving, very deliberately and specifically, for known future expenses. Your car will eventually need brake pads, and new tires. You will eventually need a new cell phone. You will eventually need a new personal computer. You will eventually need to buy a new car. You will eventually go to the doctor, and there will most likely be a co-pay and co-insurance youll have to manage.These kinds of savings are sometimes called sinking funds. Personally, I keep the money for all of mine in a single bank account my checking account, as it happens and keep track of my individual sinking funds in my budget spreadsheet. It really helps me to differentiate between dedicated savings and undedicated savings.
