>Getting a decently paying job
The average salary you need to live a comfortable life is ~$100k/yr for a single adult. Only 18% of single adults make that. Hope you have inheritance.
>Being left alone to live my life freely and quietly
I assume you understand the difference between loneliness and being alone.
I'm a pretty well off man (6'2, upper-middle class family, working on my phd and law degree, have been said i have a model-esque face and a body of a football player), and I can't say I've made a "true" friend throughout my life. You'll have acquaintances, but they'll be shallow and will expire after your environment changes slightly. Women won't feel comfortable around you nor will treat you like other female friends. I've had long, fun, deep talks with women and men that extended for 5+ hours straight. Never talked to them again because as a man you're not a priority.
You'll think you like being alone until you realize you're lonely.
