Hit up Puerto Rico man. Cheap to go, cheap to stay, it's as if you stayed in America in terms of speaking English/driving around and shit (for the most part). Great beaches and shit too.
I just had a site that was bringing in $1000+ per month for about 2 years tank and now brings in about $200 per month. So let realities like that motivate you to diversify and keep building your portfolio. Don't get comfortable or you might lose it all. For me it was actually a great reminder to keep building too.
This isn't the ADD generation, it's the lazy and excuse driven generation. Alot of people say they have ADD when they don't, ADD is too mainstream now. VERY LAZY AND DONT FEEL LIKE DOING SHIT. O I HAVE ADD. If he had ADD he wouldn't be posting this thread. Not flaming on you though, just sayin....
You mentioned that you dropped out of college. Now, I think college is a massive scam, and generally a massive waste of money.
However, you're 20, and you have some money. I say you get back into school. Go to a decent, cheap state school. Have fun, bang sluts, take classes, and get back into the groove of things.
Typically, I would never tell someone to go back to school, but you're so young, I think it might be a good idea. Just getting out of the apt and taking some classes can really get you back into the groove, raise your mood, and get you motivated. Sleeping late and fucking around all day can really take a serious toll on your psyche. Plus, if you ever want to get a 9-5 doing something interesting, you're going to need a degree.
Go back to school and have fun. You're young as fuck. Plus, you've got cash coming in. Most college kids are broke as shit. I know I was. You're not. Ball hard and bang some bitches.

Enjoy it. If shit hits the fan and you're forced to be productive (i.e. your gravy train runs dry) - you will.
Of course, it's much better to be pro-active but no need to force it. Don't feel guilty for not working if you don't have to. There's no glory in wasting your life away behind a screen to make more money.
Stop smoking weed and dont start other drugs, its a waste of money, though adderal is awesome. Dont travel, its a waste of money. The earth is no different from the inside of your room. Just do work. If junkies can go clean, you can do work

If you have spare time, volunteer to help people less fortunate than yourself. Maybe it's just because I'm not a hormone driven 19 year old anymore but at 29 year old; different perspective and all that.
Sometimes the only real difference between your success and another's failure is that you (I) always had a warm bed, a roof over my head, food to eat and a stable household.

DO THIS:
The purpose of this document is to provide you with a complete and unequivocal guide to success.
Principles
- You have an obligation to yourself and to the world to achieve your goals and exact your values.
- You have an obligation to give nothing short of 100% on every task you perform.
- You have a limited amount of time, and can therefore do limited things.
- Setting up an end-time for a task is by definition unoptimal – if you can't make it, then you waste time feeling guilty, and if you can make it, you waste time because you "have time."
- There is an optimal methodology for organizing actions toward various goals such as to minimize negative effects of boredom, tire, anxiety, and overconfidence.
- Based on 3, 4, and 5, it's important to set achievable goals, yet have enough of them and enough variety such that time-wasting can be avoided. The system for this is as follows:
- For each day, and the next two, have a list of actions that satisfy the following template:
- 1 primary task
- 2 secondary tasks
- 3+ tertiary tasks
- Relevant down-time tasks
- Relevant break-time tasks
- For each week, have a list of goals that satisfy the following template:
- 1 primary goal
- 2 secondary goals
- 3+ tertiary goals
- For each month, your preparation tasks are slightly more extensive.
- You need to think about where you are in pursuit of your goals, and where you need to be. Make some notes about this, and retain the analysis in your memory as well.
- Next, you must orchestrate a plan for accomplishing what you need to during the month. This plan must at least consist of, in its barebone form:
- The sequence of actions that will lead to the accomplishment of each goal
- The possible impediments to achieving that goal, and solutions to them
- Analysis of the state of all areas of one's life, their intended directions, and key perspectives and events to be aware of in the coming weeks.
- An honest evaluation of one's goals and the efficacy of this system.
- After each task, evaluate what you've accomplished, what's going on around you, and what you need to do next
- For each day, and the next two, have a list of actions that satisfy the following template:
- The criteria for deciding what to do next are simple:
- You do the most important task that you have the capacity to do, unless there is another that would yield better results at that time.
- It's important to plan to be able to carry out the tasks that you should be doing at any given time, so think in advance, and be prepared with whatever materials you may need.
- You must keep track of what your monthly, weekly, and daily goals are. Furthermore, you must be able to adjust them as needed. Therefore, keep a clear, concise log of what they are in a digital document.
You can do all of this. You will be so happy when you do. It is the only real way forward. Delaying this is wasting your time and destroying yourself.

In a nutshell, sounds like something I heard once stated more simply. "Happiness is overcoming known obstacles to achieve a known goal. "-LRH
This way, If one wants, happiness is found in nothing. However, I like your version. It fits the credo above and shows how to have loftier goals.
Happiness *can* be found in the lazy life; but only if one encounters obstacles (lumpy bed) and achieves known goals (get better mattress), in his case it's not how to pay for the bed, it's getting up and shifting the blankets or sheet, or getting up and going to the store.
