A great goal is to live on what you make today BUT have ZERO debt. Determine how much Bitcoin you need today (or in X years) to generate that income at a 20% compounded interest rate (be conservative since Bitcoin has returned 30%/year).

After you reach that goal, WORK for X years to pay off ALL DEBT. Then you don't need a job.

Keep a small investment account on the side and LEARN how to invest it wisely in good companies (avoid the stock market trading - it's a fools game - gambling). And NEVER buy a lottery ticket or gamble (it's stealing your future wealth).

Boom - you have a plan.

Example: Need $100,000. That's $500K in Bitcoin. You have $200K in debt. So AFTER you have $500K in Bitcoin you work 2 more years to pay off that $200K in debt. Then you are financially independent if you live within your $100K residual income.

You can figure out how many years it takes to get to your $500K in Bitcoin based on current Bitcoin using the Power Law calculator.
