What is financial independence?

 

  • Financial independence typically means having enough income to pay your living expenses for the rest of your life without having to work full time.

 

What does having financial freedom mean to you?

 

  • The best place to start when discussing investments is to look at our goals. Where, exactly, are we heading with our money? Our goal is financial independence, but what does it mean to you?

    • To go, talk anywhere, everywhere with confidence?
    • Being successful, lavish, and luxurious?
    • More free time to spend with family and friends
    • Maintaining a beach lifestyle? Yacht?
    • Being your own boss?
    • Work from home?
    • Freedom to travel and do things you like to do?
    • Not tied to a desk for 50 hours a week?
    • Big house, lots of cars, lots of holidays?
    • Earn income from day trading at home?
    • Afford to travel anywhere, anytime?
    • Trading and partying lifestyle?
    • Having enough money to own a home and support a family?
    • Giving more away?
    • Retire early?
    • Free from daily job?
    • No debt?

 

Why is financial independence an important focus for investors?

 

  • By having dreams and ambitions, we will be more motivated to be consistent and diligent each day.

  • Our goals can give us reason to want to succeed in our endeavor of trading.

    • Motivation can come from setting goals. Without goals we are just aimlessly drifting through life with no actual destination.
    • By having a trading plan connected to goals, we have a much better chance of “loving” what we do as our success grows.

 

How to can you achieve financial freedom from investing?

 

  • Financial management and investing are lifelong endeavors. You do small things every day such as cut your expenses, generate extra income, and put the money into brokerage and tax-deferred retirement accounts. With time, it begins to amount to something, and as each new opportunity appears, you can react on a larger scale than your previous investments to exponentially build wealth.

  • Making sound investment decisions is important for achieving your financial goals and key to developing a successful investment strategy.

    • The more knowledgeable and experienced you are in financial matters, the fewer mistakes you will make.

    • Taking calculated risks when you are young can lead to long run success.

      • While you are young, you can recover faster from financial mistakes and you have many years to recover.
      • You might make mistakes along the way, but remember, mistakes are the lessons of wisdom. You often learn more from your mistakes than from your successes.
