(Someone also mentioned a power of attorney for health care in here -- also known as an advance health care directive or living will.

But I want more freedom and a more secure retirement plan.  

Freedom is not free and brave Men such as yourself make it possible for ALL of us to live such GR8 FREE lives in the greatest nation in the world, so thanks again.Although everyone's niche/strategies are different as they relate to REI it is hard to pin point any one book so let me if I may recommend a list that you can choose from as there are GR8 books within this list.https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/04/1...https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/10/1...these list should at least spark your interest in what ever you are looking for.  

@Jeromy Boutte congratulations taking the leap towards financial freedom.

I currently have a 9-5 that I thoroughly enjoy but after being in this industry for 7 years I'm realizing that it will never provide the freedom I desire.

@Gabriel Benavidez you are at a cross roads to your future right now and you basically need to decide if you want the safety of working for somebody, or the freedom of being "the man". 

Being debt free is a whole new level of freedom. 

Looking forward for real estate being the vehicle of my financial freedom.

@Alexander Monnin hello from a previous fellow Buckeye :)   Agree that Rich Dad, Poor Dad is an excellent book to start learning about financial freedom.  

I got the real estate investing bug three years ago, and am steadily working towards my freedom number.
