You are 14, right?
Personally I find that statement very disturbing at your age max. Don't take me wrong.
But really... just put a lot of consideration into that. There a lot more to life than programming for pete's sake. Especially at you age!
Heck, I'm 36 (which is considered young by many standards) and I want out!
It's not the paradise you are probably lead to believe unless that passion sticks to you when the real problems start to occur. Like being forced to program when you don't want to, program things you don't want to, program against the clock when all you want is to get some sleep, program against a background of shouting from your boss, program with other people that don't necessarily feel the same way about it as you... etc...
Then, if you come out of that unharmed every single day from Monday to Friday and still feel invigorated enough... then you will be one of the very few in the world who really can say "I don't know what my life would be without programming".
