Pish posh, 14 is a fine age. Don't succumb to adultism!
Sure, we old foggies might have a bit more money, get a bit more respect, and have fancy fiancees and wives, but we also work 9 hours a day in soul-crushing jobs (plus commute, which can easily add 8 hours a day depending on the area, though usually significantly less). We have money from said soul-crushing jobs, but most that goes to bills, taxes, and various forms of savigns/investments.
When you're young, your mind is more flexible, your body is in its prime, and you have a smattering of freetime (depending on if you school is craptacular or not). Glorious, glorious, free time. Time to think, to ponder, to hang out with friends, to enjoy life.
... not that old age should depress you either. I'll just shut up now.
