Special to the Financial Independence Hub
What is financial independence? How do you get there?
Financial independence means work is optional. You have enough money to live the way you want without having to earn money.
When you get there, life changes. You have freedom. You can do only what you enjoy or find meaningful.
If you don’t like your job or your boss, just quit. Your life is full of options. You can make the most of your own life.
When you get there, you can have a quiet confidence. You are financially secure.
Your plan should start with understanding your inner motivation and defining specifically the lifestyle you want to have once you are financially independent. It is your opportunity to determine your future.
Becoming financially independent requires planning and effort, but it is worthwhile to live a more fulfilling life. “It’s not about the money. It’s about your life.”
“Real freedom is financial freedom.” When is your Findependence Day?
Achieving financial independence is a very broad topic. Writing nearly 1,000 comprehensive, professional financial plans specifically for real Canadians has given me a deep insight into what really works.
