When I say I want to become financially independent, I mean it in a few different ways.
First and most important, I want to become financially independent from my parents. While Fiance and I pay for pretty much everything, my parents still pay for my car insurance and health insurance. When we get married in October Fiance’s health insurance will cover me and I plan to take over paying for my car insurance right away.
After I become financially independent from my parents, Fiance and I want to start working toward becoming financially independent from our day jobs. We’re planning to begin a few side projects and hopefully build them into something that can help us be less dependent on the whims of bosses and city budgets. During this process we’ll also start paying down our student and car loans, as well as saving for a down payment on a house so we’ll be able to stop putting money into property we do not own.
