In this episode we bring a new element to the podcast with the Financial Independence Series.

In this concise lesson titled 'What is financial independence', three key learning outcomes are explored:

  1. Understanding Financial Independence: Financial independence is achieved when your assets generate enough wealth to cover your living expenses without the need for active employment. It's often considered the pinnacle of financial achievement, offering the freedom to live life on your own terms.

  2. Calculating Your Financial Independence Number: Your financial independence number represents the value your asset portfolio needs to reach to sustain your desired lifestyle. This figure is calculated based on your monthly expenditure, multiplied by 12 and then by 25, reflecting a common rule of thumb for estimating the required investment portfolio size.

  3. Investment Strategies for Financial Independence: Investing consistently over time and leveraging the power of compounding returns are essential for reaching your financial independence goals. Various examples demonstrate how regular investments, coupled with compound interest, can significantly accelerate wealth accumulation, emphasising the importance of strategic investment choices and tax-efficient accounts like pensions and ISAs.

Listeners are encouraged to explore further lessons on investment accounts to make informed decisions about their financial journey towards independence.
