Wow, congratulations for your achievements, and I completely agree with you.

I'm still only 20 years old (21 in a few days) and I do my best to get financial independence and try to travel as fast as possible. I want to achieve part of what you have, especially the part that lets me have whatever I want whenever I want. I am not a complicated person, I just want a simple life where I am not missing anything finanicially.

I wanted complete freedom since I was around 8 years old, and I always hated the way people do things these days - spend around 12 to 16 years in school, then get a job, get a family, have kids, work until you're close to dying, spend another 10 to 20 years not doing anything and then die.

I hated that, and I started working on the things that I enjoy, and while I'm not making thousands of dollars a day, I'm doing my best to work and achieve the things I want.

Great article, really motivational! I wish you the best of luck!
