/biz/ - Business & Finance

What do I do with money?

I came to the US when I was relatively young but my family has never been rich so I never had luxuries

Right now I'm going to college on a full-paid scholarship and I made $12k in 2013 working part time, spending maybe 2/3 of it on food, rent, girlfriend, video games and sending it back to my parents who are buried in debt

I signed a contract for an internship and it will pay $26 hourly. Not a lot by /biz/ standards I'm sure, but it's more than I've ever had (pt paid $17/hr)

I plan on sending most of it to fix my parents shitty situation, but what else do I spend it on? And if I put in savings, what do I save for?
