I wake up in the morning, work out, make myself a hearty breakfast then head into my office. It has taken me a lot of work to get where I am today, to get where I have wanted to be for such a long time, and now that I am here, it feels good, great, stupendous even. I have achieved financial freedom, which means first and foremost that I have settled down in a home I love living in, I have put away a comfortable nest egg for myself, and I have established something of which my kids can be proud, something that my kids can follow if they should so choose.
My quality of life is at once stable and exciting. I know I am blessed and there is a lot that I look forward to day after day, from the little excursions that I allow myself to the big vacations that I plan a couple times per year. I eat well, I drive a nice car, and I want for nothing. The most pressing money situation that I make nowadays is between one favorable option and another: there are no stressors in my life when it comes to my salary, because I have put in the time and energy necessary to achieving independence.
I am in such a great place, in fact, that I am finding time and resources to give back to my community. It had always been a dream of mine to become a philanthropist, but for five years it was just that, nothing more than a dream. Now, when I hear about a worthy cause, I write out a hefty check, and when I find out that an extra pair of hands are needed for a local project, I take a day off from the office and do my part to help out. When I am helping people in need, even small groups of two or three people, I feel that I am making a positive impact on the entire world. That itself is worth a huge deal to me.
Because I leveraged my real estate business to expand into investing, property management, wholesaling, buying, and selling and because I put the right team in place, I never need to think about putting my business on hold. Everything runs smoothly these days, and I know that I can thank my passion for this business and my steadfast obstinacy these last few years. I am grateful for the life I am living.
