I have a specific vision of myself and won’t quit to get there. How do I go about this?

How do I get there? How do I become this person? Where do I go and what should I do?

The answer will be vague as there are no definitive answer to getting wealthy. But there are steps that you can take which will increase the probability of you becoming rich.

Multiple Cash Flows - You need to realize that the lifestyle you want cannot be accomplished by just climbing the corporate ladder. You need to be able to have multiple cash generators generating you money (whether its from real estate, stocks, business, etc) You have to find one that suits you and grind it out. Each topic is its own universe, you have to learn the rules, the way it operates, everything about it and then apply it by actually doing it. Start reading and dont stop. Oh and this stuff has to be done outside of school because schools dont teach this shit. They teach you the theories and how it works, but its up to you to apply what you learn in school in real life. If you dont do this and solely rely on working for others, then you'll only be able to afford maybe a benz, if you're really good at what you do.
Mentality - You said you do not quit and you do not lose. Looks like reality hasn't hit you yet. Everyone has a plan until they are punched in the face. You will lose a alot, fail so hard that you begin to question whether all of this effort that you're putting in is even worth the McLaren. If you push through this barrier and keep going, dont worry, it will happen at least 2 more times. To add more icing on the cake, you have to do this as a side thing, because getting your education will be the main priority. So basically you'll be reading about other forms of money generating activities, while you're taking a break from studying on a midterm thats tommorrow. Dont forget to workout too, it keeps the mind sharp and your memory transparent. No one said it was gonna be easy, thats why many people have dreams, then they hit reality and give up. This is why you need a strong mentality.
Sacrifices - While youre on the grind, your friends will hit you up to hangout, girls will hit you up to fuck and have relationships. How much time are you willing to sacrifice? Do you still want a social life? Its friday night, your friends are hitting you up to go to a bar with some chicks but you have to read about stock valuations, which one will you choose? oh okay, so you have decided to hit the book on a friday night, missing out on the fun for knowledge about stocks. But what if you bought some stocks and they immediately start crashing, causing you to loose money? Now you've just wasted an opportunity to get laid for reading about investments, which in the end didnt even workout. Now do you keep on grinding or do you give up?
Realist - "I want to climb fast." Everyone does. But that hardly ever happens. This why they call it the grind. You have to appreciate and enjoy the journey. Be realistic, you're not gonna be a millionaire in a year, in two years, or even 10. You have to go step by step, progress is progress, no matter how small. Once you stop, all your potential progress seizes to exist.
Connections - Avoid people who smoke weed. They arent productive, in fact weed makes doing nothing fun and makes living in a shithole bearable. Connect with people who are also motivated as you, they can be found running councils and classy business events etc. Not everyone is outgoing in college, they have their own shit and so do you. Dont let the media influence on how your college years are supposed to be, more than often they are over glorified.
Health - The most important point. Eat good in college. Meal prep during the weekends, include vegetables, meat and shit. Your body will thank you. This is especially true if you're hitting the gym, as your body will require more nutrients to fuel your muscles and your brain. make one of those protein shakes with yogurt, fruit, peanut butter in them, to get the maximum healthy shit in your system efficiently.

Kind of a deep question and I don’t have the time to go in depth right now but off the top of my head I would recommend you look up and follow Ramit Sethi.

Be ready to put in the work.

Also on a more philosophical note, what’s you’re guarantee you’ll be alive when you’re 28? Why do you need to drive that car? I.e. who are you going to show it off to? Why does it matter what they think? Will this person even know you when you’re 28?

Don’t answer these questions here. They’re just meant to make you think.

The problem you'll likely run into is that the kind of guy who wants to blow a quarter million on a car in his 20's is usually the guy who's obsession with perceived wealth constantly sabotages any chance of acquiring actual wealth.

My policy is never to spend more than 3% of my total asset wealth on a car. Currently own a good condition 2002 BMW 330 convertible.
