New Year’s resolutions. Ah, January! That reflective time of the year when we reevaluate our career, goals, and relationships. When we look at the scale in the bathroom and sigh.

Retirement vs. Financial Freedom
Let’s make a distinction. Being financially free does not mean that a person is retired (although they could be). Being financially free simply means one thing: Your monthly passive income exceeds your monthly expenses. This means a janitor who created $3,000 in monthly passive income to cover $2950 of monthly expenses is technically financially free.Continue reading “Retirement vs. Financial Freedom”
