im a teen and my parents are quite old and they have never really been able to afford luxury items because they send me to a really good school. My dad always talks about how he would love to have this really nice car and I want to get it for him as appreciation of what he does for me. But the thing is that when i graduate he will be 62 and then i wont really be able to get it for him coz it will take me a while to save up and i want him to not just be able to use it for a year and then have to stop coz he is too old to drive. So, i think i should start saving up now so I can give it to him earlier. My problem is the car in over $70,000 and im too young to have a job. Any tips to how i can save money?

    Sure you could ask for money for holidays and birthdays. You could pick up small jobs like lawn mowing snow shoveling etc. the only problem is that 70,000 is to much to earn without a job. if you had a job minimum wage is about 8.50 and you can only work 40 hours a week so 8.50*40=340 that means 340 dollars a week and about 1360 a month but then there's taxes so more like 1100 a month. So after one year working a full time job minimum wage job you would have about 13,200 dollars. So it would take about 7 years for you to get enough for the car you want and that's if you save every penny and resist buying things for yourself. It's very nice of you to think of him but maybe you could look for the car used and fix it up?

    Your dad wants you to have a good life - not for you to get him a car.
