See if you can get into something you really want to do for at least 5 years. And if not, find a luxury gig that pay more if you do shits, and learn to manage your managers and manage your expectations. Treat work as work and segment hobby programming from work programming. Don't get married or kids unless you can't live without one, at least before 30. Retire early and do whatever you want.
Dont listen to this advice.
