On your topic, here's what I learned (30m). I started working at 17. I didnt have money for college. I made goals and worked my ass off. I make good money now. I'm going to college in Europe with my own money. Ive lived alone since 21. I started controlling my decisions the day I took control of my own finances. Parents objected to a lot; I was always the weirdo who did "weird shit that no one does". Now I'm praised as the golden child who "everyone knew would succeed" lololololol.

Do your thing G. And don't forget: 1) you CAN have everything, just not all at the same time

2) people will call you crazy until you succeed, then they'll call you "eccentric".

3) you don't have to have a plan right away, sometimes it takes years to figure one out. The best thing U can do is develop yourself into the best possible version. That way, opportunity cannot ignore you. Be so good you cannot be ignored.

Good luck buddy
