Saving money? That thing is completely unrelated to financial freedom.

There is only one true path: fixate on that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and when the time is right, go all in—money, time, energy, throw it all in. If you succeed, you’ll be free. If you fail? Back to zero? It doesn't matter, get up and keep looking for the next opportunity. This is how the game is played, jumping back and forth repeatedly until one time you really take off. The key is to not be afraid, and also not to stop.
