I'm 14 years old and I have a sincere doubt about my future, especially about money.

I've always wanted to make a lot of money, like many people, but I don't really know where to start. I know that the "Young Apprentice" program doesn't pay much and is more focused on experience. In Brazil, "Jovem Aprendiz" (Young Apprentice) is a program where companies hire underage teenagers with a formal work contract, so they can work legally and gain experience while still studying.

I know a lot of people say to do what you love, but I also think a lot about money, about having a better life, you know? Sometimes I even feel kind of bad for thinking like that, like it's selfish, but at the same time I just want to have a stable future. And I also know that everything takes time and progress, and that nothing happens overnight.

Lately, I've been thinking about starting to learn programming and also video editing. But the truth is, I don't even know the basics of programming or video editing yet. I'm still at the very beginning.

I'm also saving money to buy a notebook so I can take this first step.

I watched a video from Nathan( brazilian youtuber) about what it's like to make r$50,000 (brazilian money), and it really made me think a lot.

I wanted to ask you guys: what would you do in my place? Where would you start? If you wanted to make a lot of money, where would you begin? Do you think I'm on the right path? And if someone has been through something similar, do you have any advice?
