It doesn’t mean you stop working completely, but actually means you have the freedom to do what you want to do and plan your life with complete control.
通常我们通过被动收入来获得财富自由。如果被动收入能够支付所有的花销，人就不用在工作。不用工作的意思并不是不做任何事情，而是有自由去做更多的事情。不用在为钱工作，而是根据你的兴趣和喜欢的生活方式来计划你的生活。
Thus the first thing we need to understand what the cost of living is. What is your annual expense on rent，mortgage and grocery, dining, travel .. etc. If your annual cost of living is $50000, then if your asset can generate this income annually, then you don’t have to work anymore.
