Start Here - My Own Advisor Start here to discover the My Own Advisor journey. I'll share some key posts and pages on my site related to financial independence.

That being said, you don't need a broker or advisor and can/should do it all yourself. Your bank should have an online self-brokerage platform or you can use pretty much any one of them out there. My friend Mark at @myownadvisor.bsky.social has a great website full of resources also.

How to retire early. No course. No fee.

1. Consistently live below your means.
2. Grow the gap between income and expenses.
3. Invest wisely, avoid expensive products and people.
Keep reminding yourself about 1-3.
Done.

I think about this often.
