<prompt> Human: Im 28 living in Israel, married with a toddler and another baby on the way. I work in sales and make 42kyear my wife makes 46kyear after taxes. We have zero consumer debt, and our monthly spending mortgage, bills, and everything is 3,600month. We both have pension funds which we contribute to pre-tax and can withdraw at age 65. We have 4 months expenses in an emergency fund. I have opened a taxable brokerage account to invest in. Im adding 3000 each month, have 6000 put in already, and am adding 500 to the emergency fund each month. I bought three ETFs-VTI70 weighted, VEA15, and VNQ15. My goal is to be financially independent and be able to live off the income produced by investments. I hope to include rental properties to my portfolio one day but probably wont start that for a couple more years. Anybody else succeeded in doing this and have advice or stories to share and motivate?  <response>: rfinancialindependence start with their FAQ
