Why do people keep saying save save save your money?

I mean we don’t need that reminder all the time. We’re not stupid.
I know I still have some money from my job but my grandparents told me to keep saving it and only use my debit card when I really need to, not to go spending all the time.
Remember my dads words, just because you have let’s say $2,000 in your checking account doesn’t mean to go spend spend spend. Save your money girl. SAVE YOUR MONEY. One day you will have your own place and you never know what emergencies come up.”
Yes I am aware of that. My late dad told me, my older siblings (in their 30s) tell me and some of my relatives tell me. I am 19 years old, NOT 15! I am autistic not stupid! God!
It's probably more of a self reminder when they tell you. Or expressing their regret from not having done so in their past. This is where healthy detachment to people can help keep you sane. Just let them say their clichés and move on with whatever you're doing.

@froggtongue I mean I understand it is trying to help me but I don’t need to be reminded all the time it’s very annoying.
@LaylaTheTallGirl okay. Here's what you do. When someone starts to make it a habit of telling that to you, pick up on something they're doing which is not contributing to their financial success and rip on that person. "Why'd you buy that soda when the water at home is free?"

They are probably reminded of the times they did not save enough and spent unwisely, and trying to protect you from the same mistake :)
But i understand, you do not need to be reminded so often about it.
If it were me in your shoes, i would smile, knowing they care for me, say "i know" , and let it slide :)

@SW-User smile are you crazy? It upsets me! I’m not going to smile if I’m upset. Just because I have special needs doesn’t mean I’m incapable of listening
