I'm still confused about how you pulled all this off at 15, that's pretty neat. But I had one thing to add to insom's solid post. Like it looks you're going to, I went to college essentially for free. The mindset you need to have is: every time there's an awesome opportunity that might seem expensive and ridiculous (studying abroad, maybe, or spending your weekends doing awesome shit, or even having a really nice steak occasionally), remind yourself that you pulled a fast one on the world and avoided going 100k into debt and you've earned the occasional extravagance. It took me too long to realize -- within reason, why the hell not?
