Honestly, I have no free time. I work from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep (I own two businesses, one to pay the bills, one to build a nest egg), seven days a week.
High school was the same as it was now, except I wasn't making hardly any money.
My goal is to be retired with $2 million by age 26 (could be pushed to 28 at most if I run into any obstacles, which I have not so far), buy an apartment complex (that will net me about $150,000 a year, which is reasonable), build a modest house (around $250,000) and play on my computers all day.
The downside? I've only dated one girl in my entire life (even though I'm quite handsome and I'm usually hit on my most girls I meet). I've never been to a party, a club, or any large social gathering. Not many people would not do what I'm doing. Youth is too important for some, but money is more important for me.
I want to spend my late twenties, my 30s, my 40s, my 50s, and the rest of my life doing only the things I really enjoy. Decades of never being bothered with "appointments" or having someone else have authority over me (ie a boss). I can picture myself just slowly waking up each day, stumbling outside to get the paper, getting on my computer, not worrying about anything, for decades. I want the majority of my life to be spent in leisure.
Overall, the 100 hour weeks I put it now are worth it.
Life is never that easy.

I have very little money, but my wife and 7mo. old son make me feel rich.
I guess I could work 80-100 hours a week, but what if I did that for 5 years and made a mill, then died of heart failure from stress or from an anyurism.
Life isn't guaranteed, enjoy the people around you to the extent that you can. Live within your means and save the rest and retire.

100 hours a week? Dude.. you can't count your ATOT time toward your work week
Years ago, I wrote myself a $1,000,000 check. I keep it in my wallet, because it makes me feel good. So far, I have resisted the urge to cash it.
I won't be rich until a couple particular people in my family croak.
That reminds me of this joke I heard;
Kid: Grandma, when are you going to turn into a frog?
Grandma: Why do you ask, Billy?
Kid: Because mom and dad say when you croak, we'll be able to pay off all our bills and take a nice vacation!

Sure it is. He'll hit that goal at 26, decide to retire, walk out to get the morning paper the next day and get hit by a bus. What's so complicated about that???

What do your businesses do?
Also while your plan sounds good assuming everything works out, isn't the success rate for new businesses pretty low overall? I'd have to dig up the statistics but I thought I remember reading that 80% of all new businesses fail within 10 years or something. I'm not saying you are likely to fail, what I'm saying is your approach may not be for everyone. Anyone going into it would have to be comfortable with the risk. If their company failed, wouldn't they have been better off just getting a job in terms of money earned?
I will not say my business because I would like to keep it private, but it is not a typical business.
The statistic that 80% of businesses fail includes every corner pilate and java shop started by bored housewives. That fact is that most people who start businesses are stupid, that's why they fail.
I estimate I probably have a 80 - 90% chance of success and at worst, I would break even.
But getting a job is fine I guess, that is if you enjoy being bossed around and spending 75% of your waking hours working for 40 years.
And I post on AT a lot because I work from my computer, not because I have a lot of free time.

How exactly does the time it takes you to scan and read threads, then compose your delightfully insipid braggart responses not qualify as "free time?"
Hardly no one on this site fits the demographic of my business and I do not want weirdos stalking me.
