How quickly can I quit my high paying job?
Dear Experts
Here is where I am and where I want to be. Please help me out.
Note: I live in Dubai but I'm going to convert the numbers from AED to USD to make it easier for you to understand.
I have what I believe to be a decent job. I make USD 6800 a month. Of that, I'm able to save USD 2700 a month because we can live with the rest and my wife's income.
I have saved like that for just 2 months now because before that we were focusing on closing down our loan back home.
Now, I want to quit my job as soon as possible because, frankly, I can't tolerate my boss anymore. There are many other reasons as well, but I'll stick with the top 1 here.
I can't get another job because I am not academically qualified.
What suggestions do you have for me to replace my income from real estate?
Thanks in advance

So it sounds like your "freedom number" is $4100. There was a good podcast on this recently. Assuming you are a buy and hold investor, you'll need to generate $4100 of net passive income from real estate to be able to quit your job and not affect your lifestyle. That, to me, is a very attainable goal. Good luck!
