    About this ebook

    I became financially free in June 2019 when I found the words "passive income" online. At the time, I was still $77,000 in debt.

     

    However, reading these words made me understand that time is more important than money. To earn your time back, you must become financially independent.

     

    Over the next four years, my wife and I lived below our means, onboarded roommates, paid off debt, and invested faithfully.

     

    These steps will lead us to become financially independent by the end of 2023, when I retire from the military. Looking back, it all started with the concept of buying my time. Financial freedom is a mindset (time over money). Good Luck!

      01  Financial Freedom is a Mindset, Not an Account Balance

      I didn’t feel financially free when I was $77,000 in debt. I was earning over $100,000 at my day job, but I still felt behind.

      However, once I started to read articles on passive income, compound interest, and getting out of debt, I immediately knew I would free myself and my family.

      That was back in June 2019 on our vacation to the country of Turkey. My wife and I started planning to retire to Turkey and knew we needed to bring our own income.

      How to Accumulate Your First $100,000

      Figuring out the simplicity of passive income. I remember thinking, could we live in Turkey without working in the Turkish economy?

      Also, I knew I didn’t want to work at all. I wanted to make all my money from a laptop, but not by checking in with a job. I dreamed of being a free spirit.

      One of my first internet searches was earning money without working? Google returned the term passive income.

      From there, the rest was history. For the duration of that vacation, I spent every morning researching all the types of passive income.

      Harvest Beneficial Insects for Passive Income

      I opened my first high-yield savings account (with Discover). I opened my first brokerage account (with Wells Fargo) and bought some Series I Bonds from TreasuryDirect.

      A man on a mission. I became a man on a mission, which paid off quickly. By the end of 2023, my wife and I will both walk away from our jobs.

      We will be financially free, and we can focus on becoming rich (Robert Kiyosaki). Reflecting over the last four years, I understand I became financially free in June 2019.

      As soon as I made my finances my top priority, I became free. After that vacation, it was easy to stop spending, using credit cards, and wasting resources.

      Active Service, Passive Income
