The good news is, any moderately successful software company / startup is probably worth at least a million. So, while it looks crazy at this point in your career, it's not beyond your potential. If you're going the employee path, a successful employee at Google and the rest can save a million dollars after 5 to 10 years if they're frugal enough. Not to mention if you make it to a management/CTO or similar position, you might be able to make "crazy" amounts of money as well.
