I'm a simple average person. I was born in Michigan in an average middle-class family, and I went to Michigan State University, which is an average American college. Yet at 31, and without ever having a job that paid me $100K a year, I generate almost enough passive dividend income to live off of. It helps a lot that I knew from when I started my first "real" job after college at 23  that I wanted to be able to live off of dividend/passive income without having to work. With that goal, I began saving and investing intensively right away. It also helps a lot that I keep my expenses low through simple living and tastes. Achieving financial freedom and not having to work a job unless you want to is not complicated. Any average person can do it. Read the blog posts and learn how.
