Most people spend a great deal of time and energy trying to achieve financial independence. What happens once you get there? How do your views of yourself, your family, your life, and the world change? Some of the realizations of the financially independent are unexpected, so get a head start with this top ten.

1. You wonder why you strived so hard to get here, ’cause it all seems fairly moot at this point.


2. You make choices based on personal preferences vs. should-I-or-shouldn’t-I….


3. You become even more conservative financially. You don’t waste money.


4. You have a free-spending amount that frees you from having to decide to spend money on something.


5. You discover even more ways to make more money without that much effort.


6. You feel pretty grateful and find yourself wanting to help others “get here.”


7. You look at your nest egg as an investment source, not a savings account. You seek to build it, carefully.


8. You create a different/easier lifestyle and want to hang out with others who have “made” it, too.


9. You realize that you could have adopted this new lifestyle YEARS earlier; you didn’t have to wait!


10. You get up in the morning and can do whatever you please.
