<\/p>\n
I\u2019m Carlos, a 33 years old PhD, and startup founder. I live in Portugal with my wife. I always had the mental drive to save money, but never with financial independence in mind.\u00a0Only at the beginning of 2018, I decided to structure my efforts towards freedom. This blog tells you all about my path, decisions, and mistakes.<\/p>\n
I face strong limitations regarding my financial freedom, however, I don\u2019t have any doubt that I will be able to achieve this personal goal of becoming financially free. Anyone can reach financial independence. It\u2019s all about the way you wish to live and the costs necessary to sustain such a living standard.<\/p>\n
I learn to save money with my Father. He was a hardworking and honorable man, entirely committed to supporting his family. I saw his effort to support my studies and his energy to provide me the opportunity to fly high without financial concerns. My Father is my hero.<\/p>\n
There are many different ways to achieve financial independence, but you always will need to follow these:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 1 \u2013 Achieve a 2.000\u20ac per month (this is close to my current day job income);<\/p>\n Step 2 \u2013 Achieve a 5.000\u20ac per month (at this level I will be financially free in a comfortable way);<\/p>\n Step 3 \u2013 Achieve a 10.000\u20ac per month (goal).<\/p>\n You can learn about my savings strategy\u00a0here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n All information available on the Savings4Freedom blog is presented with full disclosure and transparency. Here you are able to see all my savings reality from income, investments, failures, and successes. Financial literacy is still one of the most underrated conversations in our society and I wish to contribute to change this reality. By sharing my path and stories I wish that you will be able to improve your own finances.<\/p>\n No information contained on this website constitutes tax, legal, insurance or investment advice.
