I sat on the floor with tears in my eyes and a newborn in my arms as I read the email. It was 2011, and I was trying to negotiate a part-time schedule at my job. The response in that email from my boss was a resounding “NO.”
That one little word meant nine-plus hours a day away from my baby, family vacations limited to two weeks a year, and countless moments where I’d have to tell my husband and child I couldn’t be there because my time belonged to someone else.
That lit a fire under me to start creating my own sources of income – and a few months later, I bought my first rental duplex.
I had begun my financial freedom journey, but I knew I needed an actual plan. I wanted to own my time, take extended vacations, do the things I loved, and be there for my children’s milestones. I wanted to answer only to myself and my family. But how could I go from owning one rental duplex to achieving complete financial freedom?
Here’s what I did in a nutshell:
Step #1: Figure out how much $ we were spending each month.
Step #2: Create a plan for how to generate that income without relying on 9-5 jobs. Step #3: Save, invest, and implement tax strategies to grow our wealth.
Step #4: Retire early and start living the life we wanted!
Just four easy steps, right? Well, the truth is, it was a bumpy journey filled with both successes and failures, but we stuck with it. And two years ago, my husband and I finally reached financial freedom. We left our 9-5 jobs and now spend our time traveling with our kids and living life on our own terms.
