This episode unpacks the 5 Milestones to Achieving "Level 2" financial inpendence.

1. Milestone 1: First $100,000
   
   
   • The hardest and most crucial step. Requires the most effort and discipline.
2. Milestone 2: $100,000 to $300,000
   
   
   • The “wilderness” phase. Still requires significant contributions and sacrifice.
3. Milestone 3: $300,000 to $600,000
   
   
   • Investments start to contribute more noticeably to your growth.
4. Milestone 4: $600,000 to $1.2 million
   
   
   • Investments are now doing much of the work. You reach “millionaire” status at $1.2M, providing a buffer for market downturns.
5. Milestone 5: $1.2 million to $2.4 million (Glide Path)
   
   
   • The second million comes faster. You’re on the “glide path” to full financial independence.

Level 1: Foundation / Starting Line

Level 3: Passive Income Exceeds Expenses (Financial Independence Achieved)

Level 4: Abundant Financial Flexibility (“FU Money”)
