When did you start saving money for your first car?

Question

I'm 13.

my parents are starting to pressure me into saving money for college, and my first car.

Also, how much money was your first car?

please answer both questions.

Answer 1

I didn't get my first car until the month I graduated from college.  Until then, I took the city bus, or sometimes could borrow my parents' car in the evening.

My first car cost $2600, and was a new Chevelle convertible, the first year, they were out, 1964, so that was a long time ago.  $2600 sounds real cheap for a car now - but I was making $1 an hour then.

Answer 3

13 is as good an age as any to start saving. My first car was a 1972 Chevy Nova I bought out of a friends' junkyard for $100. I drove it for 2 years while I restored a 1953 Pontiac coupe. Started saving for college at the same time. Back then college was $500 a semester. When I graduated it was near $750.

At 13 you should focus on making and saving some money while you have very few expenses. For income, I did yard work in the neighborhood and junked cars. I would buy old Chryslers , pull out the engines and sell them. I don't know what business opportunities are in your area; but you should explore them all. Even if you just start selling stuff on eBay, it's money you can bank. If you live in the USA, you can get college money through the National Guard or reserves. I know a few people who went through college that way.

Hope this helps.

I started when I was 14.  I saved 1/2 the money I earned during school holidays
