What if you didn’t have to wait 60 years to start enjoying your life on your terms? Financial independence means having enough money to afford your living expenses for the rest of your life, allowing you to live comfortably without money-related stress. While that might seem out of reach, early retirement is possible. Delyanne The Money Coach shares how she did it with the right balance of saving, investing, and paying off debt. Life is too short to live it on someone else’s terms. Invest in your freedom and live fully.
