Episode 3345: Wanderer argues that chasing your dreams doesn’t have to mean choosing between passion and financial stability, it’s about building financial independence first, so your dream can thrive without the pressure to instantly pay the bills. By strategically pursuing passion projects on the side and leveraging even modest income from them, you can lower your "Magic Number" and reach freedom faster, all while keeping your dreams alive and viable. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.millennial-revolution.com/freedom/why-following-your-dreams-will-make-you-free/ Quotes to ponder: "Don’t let anybody tell you that life is about pursuing money or pursuing your dream. It’s not either/or. It’s both." "Follow the money, then follow your dreams." "If you have something you want to create, start stockpiling your resources now, so that you can give your dream the gift of time."
