I've taken a few steps to help me reach financial independence sooner: I boosted my income, keep my lifestyle costs low, and save 50% of my income.
For me, I've begun to pursue financial independence as a way to safeguard my future as a freelancer.
The goal is to achieve a measure of financial independence that would allow you to step away from paid work permanently.
But as I've worked for financial independence, I've built up financial resources along the way.
As a freelancer, the peace of mind created with this financial safety net is priceless to me.
