When did you become Financially Free?

[Josh Sterling]

About a month ago Mitch Stephen had a really good post about financial freedom. I ended up buying and reading his book, which I enjoyed. I believe he said he needed $3500/month from investment income to be able to quit his job, which he aquired in about a year.

I'm probably at the point already that I make enough from real estate to quit my job, by Mitch's definition. But I feel like I'm no where near actually being able to call it quits and go full time in real estate. Maybe its because we have been growing our business so fast and buying mostly cash so we haven't felt the income.

Anyway, I was wondering what the point was when you knew you could go full time into real estate?
Did your real estate career excell once you left the job behind?

I agree.
