What is the best way to study and effectively learn chinese/mandarin in one year? I have availability everyday in the morning and night time. So +- 5 or 6 hours/day
Links and methods of study from people that already learned it before are very needed and welcomed.

Go to professional courses. Learning language like mandarin on your own and through web is a terrible idea. Internet can help but it cannot be your main teacher. Good irl teacher is absolutely essential.

I would go. But i don't work and i can't ask for my parents to pay (it's quite the money for us) because its something they view as "superficial" and not really important to invest money into. They already pay for my brother's medical school and are trying to save money for the family business (I help them with it but it doesn't really make enough to pay for more than food and other fundamental expenses).
Sorry for the rant but its just so you get the picture and can tell me if there is a chance to learn by myself... Only understanding the language would make me very happy (so I can watch games and understand the commentary)
Should I switch to an easier yet asian language such as Korean or Japanese? Which one would I be able to learn studying by myself at home 4 hours/day?
