Define financial independence/wealth for yourself? It is not the same for everyone.

How old are you? How far along are you already? How much do you make now? Do you have debt?

I like the classic The Millionaire Next Door.

Dave Ramsey and Suzie Orman are good start if you have personal debt. The odds are stacked against you if you have it. Most wealthy people I know carry zero personal debt.

Real estate, business owner, financial markets… they all work.

Robert Kioski’s message is ok, made up or not, IMO.
