Right now, you've got to put 10% of your gross paycheck in savings. When you get your car paid off, start putting that money (on top of the 10%) into savings.
Are your parents in good health? Have they looked into getting some long term care insurance? Do they have life insurance?
Also, the question to think about is not "how much does X cost?' but "how can I afford it?" And then make a plan to save the cash.
