How can I be successful in life? What should I do?
How can i be successful in life? What can I do to make money and how can I save it? Now I know someone on the internet who's never met me can really tell me what to do in life but I enjoy writing, I'm good with basic math skills, i'm taking all academic courses in highschool, I don't like hands on labor too much, I'm good with English and speaking. Maybe there's a website with a test or something that can give me an idea of what I could be. Real estate agent was something I was interested in. Also, how can I save money? I'm only 15 but I can't save money at all! If I get $20 I can't save it! I always have to go the store and get chips or something. Its terrible! How can I save money? What are good tips for not just now, but for in the future? And what's a good way I can approach getting a job and what's a good job for me? I just want to be overall succesfull? Succesfull to me is owning a nice house/condo in a nice area, having a nice car and a good job ect. (And a family blah blah blah). I'm not Iooking to be that millionare with lambos and ferraris but I want to have good money. Also, how can I motivate to study? Thanks!

Don't drink, smoke or do drugs. Pray for God's will and direction in your life. Read the New Testament, starting with the Gospel of John. I asked Jesus Christ into my life many years ago as my Lord and Savior and He has blessed me a lot. There is more to being successful than having material things.

It's good that you are already making plans to secure a good future for yourself. While your definition of success is one way now, that might change as you get older. I am not trying to change what you think of as success, but it is important to consider multiple options.
As far as saving money, don't keep more in your wallet than you can afford to spend, and set a limit, say $5 for snacks per week and put the rest in savings or to pay bills.
Here's a very helpful video where young people mention what works for them as far as saving money is concerned:

Also, the following link mentions how anyone can be successful even if they don't have all the things you mentioned:

Don't give up. You can be successful and you can learn to manage your money well.
