Question The Cost of a PPL

I'm 15 right now and I'm planning to start flying lessons this summer around August or July. I turn 16 in March. So it will be about 9 months or so till I can get my private pilots license. I have saved up 8,000 and my parents say they will pay 2,000. I am worried that since it is over such a long period of time that I might run out of money near the end of training. I know it might be best to wait a little but I did one lesson a few weeks ago and decided that because of the money I was going to wait to start till this summer and like everyone else I would go crazy if I had to wait to fly for even longer. So I guess my real question is wether $10,000 is enough for 9 months of training and what your guys cost and length of training it took to get you ppl?
Thanks
