The last form of success and our favorite is time freedom. The good thing about this one is you may accidentally get this one if you learn to gain more money. The only difference is, once you learn to acquire wealth, you simply replace yourself with the tasks that generate the income. 

Replacing Yourself

For example, if you had three streams of income which requires your time, you could then simple hire someone to handle any tasks you were doing on a day to day basis. The money left over should be enough for you to still keep your lifestyle except now, you have more free time since you delegated the work.
