Everyone has a different answer. Some want a new car, others want a safety net. โ€‹For me, there is only one main driver: ๐…๐ข๐ง๐š๐ง๐œ๐ข๐š๐ฅ ๐…๐ซ๐ž๐ž๐๐จ๐ฆ. ๐Ÿ”“ โ€‹But what does that actually mean?

It needs to be an infinite self-sustaining engine. โ€‹Here is the math: 1๏ธโƒฃ We need to pull 4% from the portfolio to live on. 2๏ธโƒฃ We need the portfolio to grow an extra 2% to cover inflation (so our money doesn't lose value) 3๏ธโƒฃ This means we need a portfolio that delivers 6% growth per year on average. โ€‹So, what is the target number? โ‚ฌ60,000 / 0.04 = ๐Ÿ.๐Ÿ“ ๐Œ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐„๐ฎ๐ซ๐จ๐ฌ. ๐ŸŽฏ โ€‹๐Ÿง— ๐ˆ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฎ๐ง๐ซ๐ž๐š๐œ๐ก๐š๐›๐ฅ๐ž? 1.5 Million sounds huge. It sounds scary. But you don't get there overnight. โ€‹You need a target, and you need to break it down into smaller wins. โœ… My first milestone was to get to 10k. ๐Ÿ”œ My next milestone is to get to 100k. โ€‹The formula is simple: Starting Early + Disciplined Savings + Compounding. ๐Ÿ“ˆ โ€‹โš ๏ธ ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ข๐Ÿ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐จ๐ง'๐ญ ๐ฆ๐š๐ค๐ž ๐ข๐ญ? Maybe you won't reach the full target. That is okay. โ€‹Personally, I enjoy the Chase towards a challenging goal. ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ โ€‹No matter where you end up, you will be in a much better place than if you left your savings Rotting in a Bank Account. ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿฅ€ โ€‹I am working every day to reach that freedom. ๐Ÿš€ What is your driver behind investing? Do you have a "Freedom Number"? ๐Ÿ’ฌ $BTC $GOOG (Alphabet) $NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) $META (Meta Platforms Inc) $TSLA (Tesla Motors, Inc.)
