📸 Pictured here is my first day and my LAST day on the job!



⏳️ For the past 22 months, I have worked nonstop toward the goal of financial independence.



⏰️ 90-hour work weeks have been the norm, spending 50hrs at my job and an extra 30-40hrs per week renovating apartment complexes, networking with investors, and engaging in masterminds after work.



🏁 As of this Wednesday, my journey toward financial independence has reached its (soft) conclusion.



🏘 At 23 years old, I have built an asset base that generates streams of income that are healthy enough to support my basic living expenses. Housing, food, and gas.



🪙 In other words; I'm frugal, but I am financially free!



💫 Most in the finance community would consider this level to be "Lean F.I.".



🧘🏽‍♂️ Essentially, its financial independence with nothing extra; no vacations, no extravagant meals, no fancy cars.



🤓 It's not flashy, but Lean F.I. gives you back the one resource you can never reclaim once it's gone.



🕐 Time!



⛷️ Time to do what you enjoy.

👨‍👩‍👦 Time to spend with the people you love.

⬆️ Time to create businesses and communities that uplift the world in the ways that are most important to you



🤔 What would you do with financial freedom? What's your next step to get there?
