So, this post is old, but the “correct term” for level four is financial independence. If you’re familiar at all with Mr. Money Mustache, he’s an example of this. Before reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad, or getting involved in any real estate investments, I tend to think people seeking this should first read Your Money or Your Life and work through the corresponding financial integrity program. These work to change your attitude regarding money and give you a definitive path to freedom.

Hi Avi, start with this post: https://simpleprogrammer.com/2014/04/28/well-biggest-mistake-make-software-development-career/nnnI think this will answer many of your questions.nIn short, specialization is very important. What you pick isn’t nearly as important as picking something.

I have been a web programmer for the past 6 years. At some point I nbecame a freelancer and then I came back to #1 and back to #2.nRight now I’m looking for a job after my company (located in the US moved its operation there and I’m from Israel).nI ran into your package.nnI have a question: When I market myself: how do I know what field from myn experience knowledge to choose from? I mean, I have doing server + nClient + DB and other related stuff. I’m not a junior programmer but I’mn not a CTO regarding my knowledge. The web is a very borad field with a lot of technologies and sub technologies.nSo I have this “fear”…nDo I have to choose a specific field and be an expert on it? Doesn’t nsounds like it otherwise only the top of the top developers would be nthere (if they want to).nI would be happy to hear your thoughts on it….

Thanks John – this is a useful post. It was not that long ago that I left my full-time job to become a freelancer and have realized that it’s not all I hoped it would be and that I still don’t have the freedom I desire. Your content continues to be of great value to me. I think you are completely correct in your levels of freedom.

Good stuff John. I’m a big fan of Robert Kiyosaki as well and it’s really cool to see you bringing some of these sound financial principles into a software developer’s life context.
