One of the best descriptions I’ve heard with regard to financial independence is that you know you’re there when you “WANT to work,” but you don’t HAVE to work.”

According to the stats, it’s shocking how few people realize how much they will need to achieve financial independence–at any age–especially if you want to live your “dream life,” rather than just “exist.” No wonder the financial gurus have such a large target market.

Perhaps a good title for a book would be–“Make Your Money While You’re Young, and Hang Onto It”–because, that’s the REAL challege.
