While your car is sitting in the driveway until you can drive it, let your money sit somewhere earning interest and/or increasing in value so that when the time comes you can do what you want with it.

Melissa has the right idea here- all of the money that you ACTUALLY earn- (not that you accidentally receive) you should put into the bank at 14. I know people are usually not that smart- and I didn't even have my first job until I was 17- but, if you save some money, later on when ur 20-21 you can invest in different things and start making some stuff. I won't get into it here, but working on Wall Street provides you a TON of good insight into what/how to invest- if ya ever want to talk about it, let me know. I am by no means an expert, but I do know quite a bit about investing now.

So yeah... dude, for what it's worth my advice in all seriousness would be this- ENJOY BEING 14!!! trust me- when you're in the real world and you have to wake up at 4:20 every morning- you're going to wish you were 14 again with no worries and no cares. So enjoy it while you have it. You have PLENTY of time to gather money for cars- heck, when I was 14 I had a freaking BIKE and I thought I was pimp! (I put a playing card in the spokes for that motorcycle feeling!)
