Hi. I am 18, a guy. tomorrow my paycheck will be in my bank account. I currently have JBL Headphones and I like em. but they always mess-up my hair when I go out with the girlfriend or family. I use my JBL's for the gym and road trips. I also use them in class. but I want AirPods.

Nobody NEEDs AirPods. They're cool but they're not the game in town when it comes to true wireless earbuds, some of which are comparable in quality while being much cheaper, like the JBL UA wireless buds, or the Samsung Galaxy Buds.
No, people just buy those to flex. Flex that they spent a ton of money on something that can easily be lost, dies fast, and in turn requires constant charging. And, if you care, may have your Bluetooth shown when using them or it disconnecting and possibly starts blasting porn that you're watching. What's that, midgets? Now your family is concerned for you.
Can you afford them? Bluetooth sound quality for an Audiophile is rubbish. I actually use a Cowon Plenue 1 device with music copied at Apple lossless or FLAC format and Audeze LCD2 (Fazor 4) Headphones - they also mess up my hair but I'm listening to music it was the best quality I could afford.
End of the day - it's your cash and you spend it the way you want. So its AirPods and lovely hair or it is charities like save a donkey, for the cash. Actually headphones for you girlfriend might be a better investment and you guys listen together - you might get a loving surprise for this and a lot of kudos points.
