💸 Get into debt before becoming a freelancer 💼

💸 Get into debt before becoming a freelancer 💼

Since I became a real estate investor, I’ve realized one thing:
💡 Cash is king.

Currently, I live in Bali, Indonesia, where it’s impossible for me to take on debt.

So, I had to finance everything through hard work:
• Freelancing
• Online business

Even though France doesn’t particularly attract me for real estate investment (due to its taxation), I do have one regret:

• Not leveraging my time as a full-time employee (CDI) to take on debt.

Of course, not to buy a primary residence (the worst way to achieve financial freedom, in my opinion), but to invest in rental properties. 🏠

Yes, it’s true: as a freelancer, with a solid track record, it’s also possible to take on debt.

But in reality, it’s much more complicated.

As the famous philosopher B2o said:
“Pas le temps pour les regrets” (“No time for regrets”).

And I don’t regret betting everything on freelancing and moving abroad.

But if I had, back then, the knowledge I have today,
I would have used my time as a full-time employee to take on as much debt as possible and invest almost for free.

Before, I didn’t invest much time learning about these topics.

Today, I invest as much as possible in myself.

💡 Investing in yourself at the right time can save you years.
