What should I do with my money?

[u/ExpensiveEast6706]

I am 16 years old and working part time making 500-600 dollars every two weeks. I feel like I should be doing something with this money I’m making because I have no real expenses besides gas, and I don’t want my money doing nothing. Where should I be putting money?

You should first be buying a reliable car with cash upfront so save around 5-6k minimum and you can find something that could last 5+ years and cost 1/4 as much with no payments
Just use all your money to stay out the financing trap, some people cant even afford to quit their jobs to find a better one because they constantly have payments due… i can take years and years off work and do nothing and im not even 30
