Default What should i do?

Im 15 and my old car got taken from me but i got money back because it was stolen but thats ok. Next year im going to college and im doing the mechanics course and i get £30 a week for going to college. I am born i August so i have to wait a while but thats a good thing for me because by the time im 17 i will have alot of money and i can get my driving lessons. Im wanting to get a 1.8l turbo charged 2003 MG ZR, they arn't much second hand.

Ok lets just skip to the part when i have the car, i have 1 more year left at college, should i use that money that i get each week for upgrading and tuning it or should i save it to add to my inheritants i get when im 18 (£19,000) ?

In my opinion I would save all the money I can at your age. I would definitely invest it in something. It's nice to have some money when your 18, but it's a lot better to have a lot of money when your 28, 38, 48, ect. It's really smart to plan for the future. You never know what might happen. You could put all your money into your car, but if something happened, like it breaking down for whatever reason and you don't have money to fix it, then your screwed.

I know it's hard for young people to really understand why they should save for the future, but it will really make your life easier when your older. I'm 26 now. By the time I'm 45-50, I'll be retired and not have to work. I'll probably still work, but only because I want to. Not have to. I'm not saying save every little bit of your money. Have fun, mod out your car, but be smart about it. Don't spend everything all at once. Do a little at a time while you still put some of your money away.
