1) Freedom/Flexibility - to have FU money (taken from The Simple Path to Wealth) and the freedom to control my time, design my days, and create income that isn't limited by the hours I work. I don't want to spend my life trading time for money. I want additional streams of income that grow whether I'm at work, at home or present with my children. 2) Replace my W2 income within the next 15 years so that work becomes optional. REI is the vehicle that will allow me to build long-term wealth, create stability, and give myself options instead of obligations. 3) Growth/Role Model - As a single mom of three, I want to prove to myself that I am capable of building something meaningful and lasting. I want to model courage, financial literacy, resilience, and ownership. I want my children to see what's possible when you believe in yourself and take bold action. I'm building wealth, confidence, a legacy and becoming the best version of myself.
