adaptive system. Instead focus on increasing income, investment, etc.
Time for that will come – One mistake I made.
- Take a job – Explore your passions. Try a lot of stuff. Monetize them.
- Keep the job – Get a couple of real estate rents to back you up as a first launchpad.
- Keep the job – Focus on increasing your income.
- Keep the job – Increase your income & payoff original RE investments.
- Keep the job – Pursue your monetized hobby/ business till it grows / dividend investing.
- Keep the job – Work on own terms & Quit when you want

What is Enough !
When to stop & Why to stop ?
- This is when you calculate how much you need for Freedom – Retirement & Other stuff. Until then grow
money. Usually late 30s if you start early 20s
- Don't calculate when you are 20 and then work on that goal. It makes no sense.
- Existential Crisis
- Enjoying Wealth
- If you lose sight as to why you started your financial freedom journey in first place, you are confused and need
to rethink.
