Independent Life
Currently, here in the US there is especially a lot of talk about freedom, independence, liberty. These definitions, brought into one’s personal life, mean different things to different people. What does an an independent life mean to you?

It seems that in order to have a free society we need free individuals. Free individuals are financially independent, among other things. So, how do we become financially free, outside of having a job? Maybe we need to know how rich people remain rich. How do they do that?

Hi! I have been thinking about additional income streams. I am in school learning construction. I will be finished in two years. Once I start working I will have a job and an income. I would like to save some of that to make it work for me long term.
So 1. a job
2. savings/ready cash to cover all expenses
3. investment or a business
I am not sure about 3 in terms of how to invest (any good starting points?) or creating a business (how to get started?)
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi! It seems first you have to define what wealth means to you and then “fund your life” accordingly. I like that phrase in you tag line! The kind of life you want will dictate the means to achieve it, I am looking forward to working with you on my business goals now that you got me on the way to personal financial freedom and I am funding the life I want. Thanks!

The only way to fail on the way to financial freedom is never getting started… . Waiting for someone else to do it for you will almost never get you where you want to be. It is your life – own it! Make an effort to stand on your own two feet. You might amaze yourself!
