Many of us dream of quitting the day job and living a life of luxury doing whatever we want all day. Or at least working less. It’s not impossible, and here a few tips to help you on the path to being independently wealthy:

• Find extra income sources - for example, by doing freelancing or consulting work in addition to your day job. Yes, this sounds like working more - but it’s a transitional thing, both making you more money and opening up possibilities for part-time work in the future.
• Find passive income sources - having an investment properly with rental income, earning money from advertising on your websites or getting royalties are all forms of passive income - you don’t have to do anything more to continue getting income coming in.
• Invest often but smart - diversify your investments, get advice from the best people, and regularly save more money to invest.
• Track where your money goes - as well as developing and following a budget, keep a written record of where the money really goes so you can adjust your spending and/or your budget accordingly.
• Stay married - really! Getting divorced stops many people from becoming independently wealthy so it’s worth investing time and energy in keeping your marriage together, if it’s for the best.
