There is no reason to read 30 books like that.

Get a job or go to school and focus your time on those materials then. If you know you want a job that needs say.... C++ and Excel, then do a couple weeks on that and practice it on the job and on your own time.

I'm lost as to why anyone would just sit there read 30 of those types of books for an entire year. You need to actually practice it simultaneously if you want to remember it.

If I were to spend 6 months learning greek I am sure I wouldn't decide to follow it up by learning other languages for 2 years.... I"d forget it completely. I would practice actually speaking greek!

I'm pretty sure there aren't any countries who want people to immigrate there to sit around and read books on their welfare system. Should get those ideas out of your head and figure out how you will manage on your own resources.

Unless you have someone who lets you live off their resources (parents), you can't spend all day doing what you want to do unless what you want to do is capable of providing sufficent value to earn a living (ie not just reading).
