Would you like to achieve financial independence in 10 years or less? You can take control of your earnings, investments, and expenditures in a way which will put you on the right path to live off your own passive income streams. Once you achieve that, then you decide what you'd like to do with your time. This is what I help people to do. The sooner you start to plan for financial independence, the sooner you will achieve it. To get started, you should have some money to invest of an amount at least equal to the amount you want to make annually as a passive income and also have disposable income you can start to funnel into investments. What qualifies me to do this? I am living it. That's right. I achieved financial independence a few years back after planning for it and developing my investments over several years. That gives me personal experience. Additionally, I also have a couple diplomas from the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investment. One on International Advanced Wealth Management, and another on Investment Advice (Financial Planning). To get these diplomas I had to study over 3300 pages of textbooks and passed several exams on these topics. You can find details of this on my LinkedIn profile.
