Read chapter 8 of the FAQ for details, but..
Some memory is used for metadata, the bigger your disk cache, the more
objects you have in your cache, the more memory its going to use.
Basically, it says to reduce memory usage:
reduce cache_mem
turn memory_pools off
reduce cache_swap
reduce maximum_object_size
My setup is fairly standard, I think.
I've got a cache_mem of 8
memory_pools on
cache_dir 100M
maximum_object_size 1000KB
squid is using 8 megs at the moment.

I like the idea of using popular software, even if it is an overkill
for home use, to gain extra experience that might come in handy one day
in a job interview.
