How do you intend to achieve complete economic freedom by 35, if I may ask? Would your job be your hobby?

I'm a step ahead of most people my age, in that I'll be graduating debt-free, with decent job prospects and a cash base built up from working. At that point it's almost too easy to retire early; I'll save anywhere from 60 to 75 percent of my income, spend intelligently and invest what I make in ... probably stable index funds, not sure yet.

So that's the plan. I'm fiscally nervous as it were because of the way I was raised, so even though I'll hopefully meet my goals at age 35, I may not retire until my 40s. That will partially depend on what my job is and what I want my job to be.
