Key Points
- Achieving financial independence involves reaching an investment threshold where your investment returns can match or exceed your annual salary, making work optional.
- The Minimum Investment Threshold Formula is calculated by dividing your gross annual income by the historical return of your primary asset class, providing a clear target for financial freedom.
- Living well and maintaining your desired lifestyle is crucial, as retiring early should not mean compromising your quality of life or living in near poverty.
