I set out to do this too.

I'm still working on it, but I achieved a huge part of it last year/very early this year when I paid off my mortgage. It felt incredible...mixed between finally feeling totally secure in my own home (something I missed as a child a bit) and managing to set myself - and achieve - a huge goal.

I know how I managed to do this (what work I did), and I'm now concentrating on expanding on this.

What does financial security mean to you? And how are you going to achieve this? In what sort of time frame?
