Don't quit, unless you find a better job.

I had a paper route from the time I was 11 until shortly after I turned 18, and I can't tell you how much I wish my mom forced me to save my money those first several years that I was working. I spent 7 years getting up by 6am everyday, and don't have much of anything to show for it because I blew all that money away on trivial crap.

Be glad that your mother cares enough about your future to keep your money in savings for you. Better yet, ask her to open an ING savings account in her name for all of your money (it earns 4.35% interest). Shoot me a PM if you want any more details about it.
