Dear Aida,

Every person who seeks financial independence must eventually confront one profound question:

How much is enough for my freedom?

Not “wealth.”
Not “riches.”
Not “success” as defined by culture.
But the number at which your life becomes self-sustaining —
the number at which your time becomes yours again.

This is your Freedom Number:
the amount of annual income your Income Factories must generate
to fund the life you want to live
without requiring you to trade your time for money.

Your Freedom Number is the hinge on which your future turns.
It is the line between a life of necessity
and a life of autonomy.
