<prompt> Human: Let me start this off by saying I do not know if this was the right sub to post this in, but it was the closest I could find. I am 14, a freshman in high school. Is there anything I can do too ensure I will be financially successful. I have been researching different careers, and how much they pay in my area. But I feel like this is not enough. I am looking for advice on what steps I should follow to make sure I succeed. Thanks.edit: I forgot too mention I started this school year off to a rough start. I had a 1.7 GPA during 1 trimester and I did not take any AP classes, but now I have a 4.0 in the 2nd trimester. I did not take school serious until now, I feel like my previous actions will affect me in the long run.  <response>: The fact that youre only a freshman in high school and youre already thinking about this means youre already on the right track
