SubscribeSixty percent of U.S. high schoolers are setting aside money for college, with most saving at least $1,000. Robyn Bri, however, has amassed more than $85,000—a fortune the 18-year-old can hold onto while attending George Washington University on a full scholarship. After watching her parents struggle to support their family, then-8-year-old Bri started saving cash earned dog walking, babysitting and eventually waitressing. The financial future is bright for the aspiring real estate investor: Her nest egg is nearing the household savings of most 55- to 64-year-olds.
