Start your own business. Don't be some cubicle stooge who never gets to travel and has to answer to someone. As you alluded to, we only live once. You want freedom? Read my first sentence again.
Few point on this.
Chances of you starting a successful business will exponentially grow once you've actually attained some working experience in your target domain. You'll learn the ways of the trade, best practices, workflows, and get a glimpse of what works and what doesn't.
Secondly, the first several months or even few years, depending on your selected primary activity are investment years. If you're ridiculously lucky (and I do mean luck, because no matter how good you are, you're literally a no-name) you'll land a client from the get go, so maybe your fledgling business will earn just enough to self-sustain investments in order to prosper. However you can't possibly consider that a realistic outcome. Following the same logic you don't buy a Lambo right after getting a lottery ticket because maybe it wins.
Third, you too have to survive. Best case scenario your business makes money from day one. You
still need a personal income. If you think leeching money from your barely profitable luckstrike company will be enough to pay your rent, you're wrong. And even if it were, doing so will severely inhibits it's growth and put it in danger of dying out.
Starting a business has little to do with balls and a lot to do with being smart and adaptive.
It's similar to "getting women". The more desperate you are, the better you chances of failing. You're still dealing mostly with people and if every client is your life vest, it won't be long before you drown.
