I fully agree with you!
I started programming with eleven and just started every day with a new project, but that was absolutely ok, because in the last project I experimented with something and learned new stuff!
Now I'm stressing everytime with that I need to finish something, maybe make money with... I mean I'm now 20 and I need money to live...
That's so demotivating...

Keep up writing :)

I mean, you don't need to make money with everything you create. And if it's money you need, there are jobs out there. You don't necessarily need to create a million side projects or become a freelancer to "be your own boss".

Don't stress about it, sometimes the way out is just chilling and take the traditional way out. Assess where you stand with your knowledge and skills and see where they can be useful.
