What’s was the deep root cause of becoming an entrepreneur (personal talk)

I have been thinking and reflecting on my current situation of trying to get into the entrepreneur world. I didn’t know anything about entrepreneurship and still lack the knowledge. While I am expanding my knowledge on how to run a business and the general system of the economy, I still have much to learn. I’m 17 and in this young age, I want to be free and feel knowledgeable and what I am doing in life, but I am not is what I’m concerned about. I don’t have the best knowledge as other entrepreneurs do but I’m trying to learn.

I watched my parents work their ass off for years in their 9-5, money coming in and quickly gone, but still living paycheck to paycheck. No extra money for vacations and other fun hobbies we would like to try. This saddens me greatly because I do not want to exchange my years in life for money that I can barely use in life, with that money going into payments. As a result, money is taking a toll on my entire family, mentally.

I dream being free to where money isn’t something I should be seeking my entire life. I want the experiences that come with it and to live my life instead of putting my time for a few bucks. That’s where I come from, the vision of peace and to change my situation. No one in my family has chased entrepreneurship and I might as well change that. I am almost 18 and becoming an adult which is scary for me. I would like to hear about your story as well. Thank you in advance.
