How Black Women Can Achieve Financial Independence Early Posted on August 20, 2021August 26, 2021 By Leigh Langston The goal of many people is to achieve financial independence early in life, a goal that can sometimes seem difficult to achieve as a woman, especially a Black woman. However, if you think creatively about different ways to earn money rather than working a grueling 9-5 job, you’ll be more likely to achieve financial independence as a young adult. Here are a few different ideas of how you can make a big financial profit and gain financial independence. Build Estate Portfolio One great way to make a significant financial profit is to start building a real estate portfolio. Having real estate properties that you can up sell or use as rentals or an Airbnb is a sure way to make a sizable profit. Take time to consider what kinds of properties you’d like to add to your real estate portfolio. If you live in an area that is likely to have a need for apartment or condo rentals, such as a college town or area with young families, consider investing in this kind of real estate, as there will be a dependable need for your rental. You can also look into overseas real estate and invest in vacation properties in locations such as Mexico, Italy, or Greece, that will make a good profit off of wealthy tourists. It is good to build a real estate portfolio that is well-rounded and that meets your needs and interests. Use Tax-Advantaged Accounts Another way to achieve financial independence is to use tax-advantaged bank accounts. Having accounts like a 401(k) or an IRA can be really helpful in achieving this goal. According to Franchise Gator, if you have more than $50,000 in assets in a retirement account, you can use it to fund a business. This can be a great benefit to you if you’re wanting to make money through entrepreneurial efforts. Investing in Stocks Investing in the stock market is another way to become financially independent and to have financial security for your future. According to Investopedia, the great thing about investing in the stock market is that you can determine the amount of money you’d like to invest, which will help you to figure out how much stock to buy and which companies to invest in. Taking time to research the patterns of the stock market, especially the stock of the companies that you’re interested in, will help you to know how to invest your money successfully and wisely. As you’re wondering if you’ll ever be financially independent, remember that you don’t have to try to make a living in the traditional way. Try the different options that have been discussed in this article and see if they’ll work for your lifestyle and goals. As you’re researching successful approaches and being creative in your approach, you’ll surely meet your financial goals.
