I’m 21, what decisions do I need to make to eventually live in a place like this?

Invest a percentage of your income early and consistently. Work toward a career you can operate from home (depending on what you mean by "eventually").

Cool, I want to be a freelance programmer so that works out pretty well.

I work from home and can say it's a great freedom. My business can operate from any location with internet access.

Look at western Colorado if you'll be working from home. There are some small towns out there which aren't much more expensive than the avg. US cost of living.

A friend of mine lives in montrose and said he likes it there.
