@kireet practices that utilize it include visualizations, affirmations, dream/vision boards, subliminals and more 

Watch the secret on Netflix (take everything said with a grain of salt ofc) and/or read the book for it, there's a subreddit on LOA which may also be helpful to you

Also, I've been following this girl on YouTube for a while and only yesterday learnt she has utilized LOA after watching these vids, she has hints of stage orange (scientific/rational) but still believes in the LOA in a more than rational way because of some synchronicities she experienced (mostly related to her YT success)

No. First get money, get your own apartment and learn about the world. Build your skills. Do do-nothing meditation and regular meditation daily, as your only spiritual practice. Make sure your career and life purpose is going strong. Learn to be a good devil and learn to take your responsibilities. Learn how to get good with women. Make sure you are not addicted to porn or any drugs. Build a strong, clean life and then pursue enlightenment if you really want when you approach 30. Thats what I'm gonna do anyways, I'm also still young. Right now im just focusing on myself. 

So to round it up, just build skills, get money and do meditation. And some partying and fun stuff on the side. Live a normal youngsters life. If you make it to 30, go for enlightenment. and if you don't, well you will be enlightened anyway since you're dead. Good luck! And of course decide for yourself don't take my word for it.

But I can't stress enough, BUILD SKILLS!!!! if you want to stand on your own feet, A.k.a. hunt like a lion, you need skills. 

This. I think that's a really good goal to orient yourself around. I'm 19, and I think aiming to nail all of that stuff down by age 30 seems like a solid idea. It would be less overwhelming to not feel like you should be gunning for maximum spiritual growth right away, and instead focus on building your lifestyle, career, relationships and such first. However part of me also thinks this seems like a trap. Lot's of teachers I respect warn about making excuses to pursue worldly things and delay the growth and letting go that really matters. Leo even has talked about the idea that your ego wants to "run out the clock" and use distractions to stop itself from being dissolved. On the other hand, there is the idea of Maslow's Hierarchy of needs which I think you alluded to in your post, as well the idea of Dharma which suggests that we have a duty to carry out our unique gifts and perspectives in the world, which would fit with your idea of delaying the heavy enlightenment work until later in life. Anyway, I don't have the answers to this, but I'm curious what you other guys who are young think about this. Is it responsible to work on your material life, skills and such for a while first, or is that just a distraction and excuse so that your ego can stay in the driver's seat for longer. Perhaps it is even better to start pursuing awakening earlier in life before you have so many attachments that will be painful to let go of? Let's discuss.
