I'm Em.
I'm a 20 year old English/History student living in Sydney.
I dig art, music and books.
I'll take questions on relationships, friendships, high school, uni, or whatever else.
I try to give the best advice I can, usually drawing on my own personal experience. But I'm not perfect, and sometimes when I look back on some of my advice it's far from it (especially when I was 15 and writing LiKe THiS). It's just advice, though. It's not an answer or a solution, it's simply a potentially helpful perspective. And that's all I can offer you.

I earned about 320 dollars from coaching a little league sports team during their whole season. I'm 18 and currently unemployed. I applied for another job but haven't gotten a response back. I don't really know what to do with my money. I can either blow it all and buy clothes (I REALLY need to update my wardrobe.. i haven't gotten a new outfit for probably a year and half. I just really need some new clothes haha I'm sick of wearing the same stuff) Or I can put it in my savings, earn more money, and then spend all of that later in the summer (considering i only have 2 weeks left of school).
so should I spend it now? or save it and wait until I have more money to buy clothes?
Also- if you say I should spend it now- do you recommend any places or ideas on how I can get a bunch of clothes for a cheap price? I was thinking Platos Closet since there are name brand clothes (so they are still cute) but cheaper. I don't really care if they are already worn. I just really need some new clothes haha. Thank you so much! (link)

I think you should save. It's your money and you should do whatever you want with it, but once it's gone it's gone. Especially because you're unemployed at the moment.
You don't have to save all of it, maybe just half or so. Something there in your account incase your friends want to go out or do something. I'm not sure where you live (and I live in Australia so I probably wouldn't be much help anyway) but factory outlets are great for lots of cheap clothes. Just go out and explore different stores, there might be some sales on.
I think it's great to start saving at any time, even just a teensy bit every week or so. It really does all add up :)
