I need to shift the focus from making more money for freedom to becoming financially independent. The steps that need to be taken in that is to have a well thought out one for me to be able to have a steady source of inflow of cash rather than high networth. Networth is something that should be a bonus. Networth can be built slowly with the surplus ‘if any’ of the inflow or it will take care of itself. So the focus needs to shift towards cash inflow first. A figure needs to be targeted as to how much is needed to maintain a good lifestyle first. Once the figure is in place, I need to work out on how to get that figure consistently till the rest of my life. The focus needs to be narrowed down to the priority which is to have a steady cash flow.
2. What I realised about networth after the conversation!
Well, networth is a by-product of financial independence. Networth to me is a wild goose chase which ultimately diverts us from the golden swan which is financial independence. Only when we have a steady inflow of cash to maintain a decent lifestyle should we even think of the word ‘networth’. Ultimately freedom, be it financial or otherwise to me is to win the game and get out of it, move on. Like a level, in a video game.
