Financial Independence - Consumption

Financial independence really boils down to one variable, and that variable is consumption. Financial independence is being able to consume in the way that you want to without some one else dictating what you have to do with your time. So don't let somebody's side rail you with something that seems too good to be true. And i think anybody who's got a very aggressive strategy that they want to leave the work force early, you can't skip any steps on the home work.
