Financial Independence (FI) means having enough income to cover your expenses without relying on a traditional job. Follow these five steps to reach FI faster and live life on your terms.

3. Reduce Unnecessary Expenses
Cut back on non-essential spending, such as dining out or subscriptions, to free up more money for your FI goals.
4. Invest in Passive Income Streams
Diversify your income with investments like real estate, dividend stocks, or online businesses that generate steady cash flow.
5. Plan for the Long Term
Set a target FI number (e.g., 25x your annual expenses) and adjust your strategy annually to stay on track for financial freedom.
