Hey, Veeky Forums, I'll spare the blogging and cut to the numbers. I'm currently 20 years old and looking to finish an Applied Mathematics degree by age 23.
Trying to fit into normal society isn't working, so I'd like to return to recluse mode and live out the rest of my days online as soon as financially possible. Here's my estimated list of expenses.
Home: $100,000 Property tax: $75,000 for 50 years though property tax shouldn't even be legal but whatever. Car: $25,000, 5-year maintenance cost included. Bicycle: $500 if I'm feeling super fancy or something, otherwise like $100 Food: $500 a month. Overestimating costs. Entertainment (Best available internet, buying games, legitimately acquiring animu and toys and shit.): $750/month. Utilities (Based on average in area, scaled for size of home): $150/month.
Other expenses (clothing, vacation (My "vacations" would cost like $500 tops unless I wanted to go feel awkward in Japan or something), investing) per annum: $10,000
So is it possible to reach that point before 30? I don't intend to never attempt to make money again; I really want to create websites for kids/teenagers. I get nostalgic for that shit and want to help some other people's childhoods be less shitty.
But I'd like to be able to live comfortably before throwing it all on that sort of deal, since those sites aren't pulling Facebook-tier returns, and I have no intention of running ads on them.
So in total:
Money required: $468,000 for 10 years of living with those expenses. Time alloted to get it before being 31: 10 years Time left before getting a degree: 2-3 years Time alloted to get that money while having an Applied Mathematics degree: 7-8 years. Required savings per year post-college: $59,000 - $67,000 per year. Unknown variable trends: Inflation/recession/medical emergencies.
Live with your parents till you have that much money, I'm doing the same OP. Except I'm going to try the stocks after I graduate, if it doens't work out im going to kill myself
Best of luck

>Live with your parents.
I can't stand them, so it's not much of an option. Plus, I probably won't find work where they live.

Well you can do the math better than I can.
However wouldn't it be a better use of time to just find a job you like?
I mean I know some autistic fucks, and they found jobs they like I'm sure you can too.

I live in the Southern United States, and I listed $100,000 because I was looking in a very specific area located near a park I would like to be closer to.
I can get a home for around $50k in a safe area if I'm not picky about location and simply looking for a bargain, but the average price is hovering in the 80-90k range.

I'm very hard pressed to find passion, unfortunately. I used to be very passionate about things that caught my interest, but it's like my will do do anything has slowly been sapped away over the course of 10 or so years of parents and peers belittling my interests. Now I'm a joyless shell of my childhood self, with no skills from abandoning my interest and no real sense of hope to pursue them further.

See a psychiatrist, you have depression

I got diagnosed with it once before, but US mental healthcare is utter garbage tier and the handling of it makes me unwilling to trust any further psychiatrists.

That sounds like an awful future, even if you do make that kind of money to be able to afford that, by 10 or 20 years your either going to run out or your going to look back and see that you shut off the whole world around you just to dedicate your life to a computer screen. There is way more to life then anime and vidya. your fuckin young still you have the whole rest of your life in front of you, dont waste it just because you think you dont fit in with family or peers, fuck them, but dont become a hermit on the internet. thats probably what they expect you to do, dont give them that satisfaction. do something big with your life, even if you think you got enough, you can always get more.
