I want to be comfortable in 2 or 3 years, and rich by around 30 years old. I know that is closer than it seems, I'm sick of slacking off though, I want to make this **** happen.

Beyond that there is no advice to give since we know nothing about you, what skills you have, or even what you consider rich. If you give more details maybe we can give better advice but reading your OP I think just accepting that maybe lower-middle class is your best hope might be something to consider.
I couldn't get back into school even if I wanted to. Don't have the $, wouldn't get accepted for OSAP loan, and don't have the highschool marks. As for skills, I'm IQ smart but not that street/socially smart. I've always had a really low attention span too, and low work ethic, this is changing now though since quitting weed. I had a 95 in grade 12 math and a 51 in english. (Brock accepts 51's in english apparently) I used to be really good at Starcraft and pretty good at basketball, but those are obviously useless skills money wise.

the $ you hear they make is overexaggerated because the cost of living there is stupidly high, but i've considered this as well.
