Spending two months of pure leisure in Central America with my family is the culmination of four years of hard work on my own personal freedom (and a couple of decades of less focused but still directionally compatible actions on my part).
I'm getting there, but my experience closely aligns with what you've shared. I know where I don't currently have the freedom I wish I did, and I've made tradeoffs for now.
I'll get there eventually. Once certain parts unlock, others have new possibilities as well.
It's definitely a cyclical rather than a linear process. It also takes many years and I'm in no way done. My life's greatest achievement would be to shorten the path for my kids.
