What is the state of a truly free professional investor?

1. Only investing with your own money, not managing money for others
2. A large enough capital base where dividends can cover all living expenses
3. Truly understanding market laws and mastering the art of investing
If you satisfy all three points, then congratulations—you are blessed.
From that point on, time is yours.
Travel, read, drink tea or wine, cook, live your days like poetry, without any constraints.
This is my understanding of financial freedom.
Not the numbers in your account, but the ability to completely control your own life.
