While sitting in a northern Brazilian beach a year ago, it hit me for the first time that I’m truly financially free. This new freedom meant that I didn’t need to look for a job upon my return to Australia. In fact, I didn’t even have to go back to Australia. I could choose to go wherever and do whatever I want on any given day.
A year later, and both my partner and I are still enjoying this ultimate gift of complete choice. I am not rich as most people think when they meet me for the first time, but I don’t need a job to keep up with my current lifestyle. The steady passive income stream I developed before and while traveling is enough to cover both of our expenses, and more.

What we hardly ever do about money, however, is ask ourselves where it comes from and who controls it.
The key to Becoming Financially Free is a simple equation: monthly passive income greater than monthly expenses equals Financial Freedom. The path to freedom, however, is not a straight line and often requires navigation between different monetization strategies. In this context, a key question becomes: What is the best way to earn active and passive […]
