Financial Independence occurs when your passive income generated from investments exceeds your cost of living. You can achieve financial independence by working hard, saving your money and investing in quality, productive assets like low fee stock market ETF index funds and cash flow positive real estate.
Financial Independence gives you the choice to direct your time and energy into the things that you truly value, like Early Retirement. It’s about working out what you value the most, and empowering you to have the freedom of choice using the core principles of mindfulness, efficiency and minimalism.
I love reading and learning about Financial Independence Retire Early. As an Australian seeking Financial Independence, we have a quite small but amazing FIRE community. Check out what I have learned along the way by reading my Financial Independence articles below
