Most people dream of becoming financially independent, but few actually think about or take the actions necessary to reach independence.
To some people, financial independence simply means earning enough to pay your bills, so you don’t have to depend on help from your family or the government. To others, it means being free of debt, so you don’t have to rely on credit to make ends meet.
Reaching Financial Independence is an ambitious goal, but it isn’t a complicated one.
To build financial independence, you’ll need to earn a reasonable return on your savings. A savings account alone is not enough. Invest in stocks, bonds, and other assets that involve an acceptable level of risk.
