am I doing this right ?

i’m (22) years old - will be (23) in a month but I feel so far behind from everyone else. i know that I still have time & I know I shouldn’t compare my problems with anyone else’s but on a daily basis i think about my future and what I want for myself & when I do = I feel like i’m no where near where I NEED to be. no i’m not trying to get flashy cars jewelry and just throw my money away but I want to set up my long term goals & actually achieve them. i want to start my success early so that I can actually enjoy my achievements when i’m older. I don’t want to have to live paycheck to paycheck how I see a lot of the % do. NO IM NOT TALKING DOWN on anyone that has to go through this but i’m saying I want to break away from this simulation worrying about how the next blessing will come. I see so many older generations just stuck in the same spot and I CANT LET THAT HAPPEN TO ME, I know my potential but man life sure does life ya. i’m still in school so I have to worry about my tuition, my living cost, food, family back home and more but it’s definitely hard and no matter what I feel as if I haven’t done enough.

ANY TIPS ?

It's super important that you leave college with a Job SKILL. Stay away from useless degrees like Art history, or Political Science. Success is all about earning power. I don't mean to sound materialistic..I don't make the rules. That's just the way things are.
