Has anyone here self-taught themselves math in later life?

I studied up to A level (aged 19) but honestly started hating math aged 16 after previously loving it.

It’s a big regret of mine that I fell out of love with it.

I self taught myself coding and Spanish and much enjoy self study if I can find the right material.

Any suggestions?

Possibly making a small, focused game!

This is how I got back into learning maths... through necessity and immediate application.
