Do you know what you want in life?

I am still a teenager (18 years old) and since I'm going on to 21 soon I think I should seriously think about my future. I know I want to get rich but I want to be happy. Is this realistic? I know I should just try to be happy and not to get too obsessed with money since money is secondary. But can anybody actually do it? Can anyone actually try to deprioritise money? I also know that I should be a good, indepedent person - take care of my parents, take more initiatives etc. But how exactly do I do it? I know I should stop depending on my parents but somehow I just can't seem to do it. In short, I am someone who is struggling with deciding what she wants to do in life. I hope I can decide fast and not waste too much time on my youth. Any advice?

You have a lot of ambitions. It is very good. At this age you should not divert your attention except improving your qualification. Work hard and learn. Oppertunitieswill come to you at approprioate time. Do not waste your time in bad company at this age. You have to select a line of your choice now. You can decide in consultation with your parents. Wish you all the best.
