Yes...

But dun kid youself too much..

Say, u earning salary 10k, then expenses 10k.. and passive income 5k

Then u quit job and cut expenses to 5k and declare financial freedom..  technically yes, but play cheat a bit..

Generally speaking, yes. In case you are retrentched or quit from your professional job, you still can have fund to maintain your existing expenses/lifesytle.

Financial freedom is very simple. If you don't work, do you still have the money to survive? Simple right?

I have a question, lets say someone with a strong active income (example rm100k nett monthly) do they look much into passive? or they would rather spend more time increasing their active to the next level?

I like to know can I stop work/retire early now, cause I like to spend more time with my son.

I am a single mum 40yo, son is 7 yo.

What I have at the moment is a single story house in cheras(all load paid) value at around RM400k. Am the rental income from the house is RM1800/month
I am living in a condo with my son,this condo still owe the bank RM550k, mortgage at RM3300/month

I have around 1mil in FD and recently I have inherited RM2mil (think of going to pur in FD)
Also around RM200k in stocks and Stashaway My

But I don't want u guys to misunderstood as if I have saved millions to retire upon....

The basic understanding/definition of Financial Independence would be - you have the income/reserve to sustain your desired lifestyle (on your own terms) without the need to work for active income.
