    Simply being hard working doesn’t ensure any level of success or wealth. There are many individuals that remain very broke even after working very hard throughout their entire life. This generally occurs because of several reasons, such as low wages at work, not being financially literate, bad spending habits, lack of investment habits, too few opportunities, high expenses compared to income level, outstanding debt and not effectively using their time to build income/working smart relative to creating income or learning how to scale their income. Success is typically based upon a combination of being hardworking and having a solid strategy; and also developing new skills, making good investing/business decisions.

    There’s no fixed age for financial independence—it depends on personal goals, income, and discipline. However, many aim for it between *25 and 35*, after education and early career stages. By this age, you should:

    1. Earn enough to cover your needs without relying on others
    2. Manage and stick to a budget
