He had a job in fast food. How do we know he didn't have credit? I had credit at 17.
If he truly was working towards this since he was 14, he'd have to earn an average of 43 dollars a week to reach 9000 cash. He lives with his grandparents, so no rent bills. If he was just saving for a year, he'd have to save ~173$ a week for a year. At low tax brackets, that's approximately 20 hours of work a week.
It's odd, but not impossible, especially if he was planning this, as he clearly was.
I've been wondering if the supposed argument with his grandmother over a cell phone bill might actually have been an argument over her credit card bill. Of course I have no idea, but waiting to hear more details.
I have no idea why the grandma, who is in stable condition, has not stated anything here. I bet she lawyered up good, which adds to the mystery. The absentee mom, we know, said that "he had his reasons." I'd love an official statement from the grandma. The investigation and reporting of this case has been terrible.

Most kids just buy cars with that saved money.
