It can empower you with the financial resources not only to provide well for yourself and your family but also to give back to your community. Rule #1: Set Your Goals Now! The ultimate goal is your financial independence. Financial independence is having enough resources or assets to provide an income that will sustain your current or desired standard of living when you want it; that is, when you choose no longer to be gainfully employed. Financial independence means freedom of self-determination, freedom to do or be what you want within the framework of moral principles that insure success as well as genuine satisfaction.
