Don't limit your future financial freedom to just where you live today.

Also talking with a financial advisor can give some insights. 

So PLEASE don’t make another huge financial decision and then tell that same person after you do it.

I look forward to learning everything there is to gaining financial freedom and becoming an investor. 

I just thought it was a little fad for nerds at the time.I'm not prognosticating a particular price, I'm hedging against the entire financial market.

Even when I was younger, I understood that it could be a great way to achieve financial freedom, retire early, and live without the stress of money constantly hanging over my head.

Financial freedom.

My Name is Miles, currently living in Arlington (DFW Area), I've always had intentions of at some point getting into real estate, now at 40, and finally at a place financially that it is feasible, I'm planning on spending the next 6-8 months learning all I can (and then rest of my life continuing learning lol) before taking the FIRST plunge.

By the time you are 35 you could be financially independent and wealthy.Too many Americans, particularly young Americans, want everything now.

What are the financial metrics i should be asking for?
