Assumption
1) You are living at home.
2) Most if not all your bills are paid for by parents.
3) Your idea is that good that you are able to persuade said parents to
give you 3-6 months during which you can set up business without any
bills etc.
4) You can go out and get a part-time/weekend job just to supplement
your income.
5) You think the idea is that good that you can go nuts getting 2-3
part-time jobs, save enough for 3 months, and then, in conjunction with
3, get the business under way.

Your major issue is probably one of ageism. You will be very young for
whatever you are doing so it better be a business that doesn't rely on
face to face transactions.
