I've decided to make it my mission in life to get to the point where I have a healthy supply of "fuck you" money to afford all the hedonistic and carnal pleasures to fill a lifetime.
I'm open to suggestions for how a socially retarded but capable programmer might achieve this.

Clarification: *legal* ways to achieve this. Willing to work for it.

Just save your money and invest it. Also, don't work at any of the major tech companies, at least not right away. Their starting salaries are only high because the cost of living there is so fucking ridiculous.

Gee, thanks for being so specific.

Got any tips on investing? And don't say "diversify."

I'm an aspiring programmer. Would you say 26 is too old to start learning coding?

Also from what I understand. C++ pays the most no?

Who told you that, /g/? C/C++ jobs are already taken by 40 year old virgin tech gods who have been programming in C since they were little kids. Most companies these days are looking for people that can do shit with the newer languages and platforms (e.g. Angular JS).

Welcome to the club, pal. Get in line behind everyone else in this world and prepare for a rousing round of disappointment.

What if I want to do freelance work from home?

you're gonna have to compete with the curryniggers that work for a nickel per day
Let's make the new normiebook
Or an improved instagram where the selfies can automatically hide your hideousness with things more complex than a simple fucking filter

This is wrong btw, new blood in the old language is well appreciated. Some schoolmates do COBOL shit for banks, earn good easy money
I couldn't fit there unfortunately, was extremely bored

Affiliate marketing, Literally just sign up for Amazon Associates program.
But you will never, ever do it, so I guess it doesn't matter
That kind of wealth can only be created by making something hugely popular with millions of people.
The closest you can get to that kind of wealth reasonably is learn some sought after tech skill and be very good at it, that will bring you in a 6 figure salary easily.

Okay, how do you start?
I have plenty of savings if that helps.
