    Well, i'm not quite sure what a greendot card is, but what i do is i put at the very least 10% in savings out of income. 15% goes to my church. and if i'm saving up to buy a car or something like that, i'll put 15% in a different thing other than savings. From what i've seen, it's also good to have atleast 3 months income saved up incase you lose your job, or need some kind of emergency money for medical bills, or something like that. Course, being 17, i'm sure that's not really that big of a deal at the moment. Just something to keep in mind for the future.
