It took me a full decade to get to the point where I could be location independent. It also took a lot of hard work and planning to get there and risks when it comes to personal capital. Entrepeneurship with multiple streams of income on top of that to weather good times and bad is the most realistic path for most people.
If a person is not willing to put in the work or do careful financial planning then it's doubtful they can achieve actual location independence.
A lot of people expect some casino type event to happen where they're set for life based on some random luck. Good luck with that. I notice even red pill guys are susceptible to this fairy tale. It may happen to a very slim % but most people just blow themselves out financially chasing fantasies.
A lot of people have misconceptions as to what location independence actually means.
The obvious..a lot of guys get by with paycheck to paycheck with jobs with long holidays overseas but that is not really location independence. Working on an oil platform doing 3 on 3 off is not L.I. unless you invest that money earned in a way that allows you freedom to work your own hours wherever you want. Teaching EFL is also not location independence. That's a long working holiday overseas but eventually you will still have to return.
