FIREDOM Financial Independence: Immigrants Expats Travelers

Obsess Yourself Into a Better Future

Most people dabble. A few go all in.

I once wrote an article about gently easing yourself into personal finance and financial independence.

That probably works for most people.
Slow progress. Dip your toes in. Build gradually.

Cool. Lovely.

But this article is for a different type of person.


If you’re like me, sometimes you don’t want to slowly get into something.

You want to go hard. Fucking hard.

That means:

  • 5–8 hours per day

  • For at least 6 months

  • With 90%-95% adherence

Temporary obsession.


Now, if you read that and immediately think:

“I don’t have enough time.”
“I don’t have enough energy.”
“I don’t even know where to start.”

Beautiful. I wrote an article just for you a while back.


Ready?
Yes? Great. Let’s begin.

Not ready?
Sorry. It doesn’t matter how you feel. We’re starting anyway.
