To be an established freelance web developer that I can live completely off the money I make doing it, comfortably.

Or, to be employed as a web developer working remotely and making enough money that I can live completely off the money I make doing it, comfortably.

Then start my own Pharmacy.

To be working in a flexible and stress free environment, pursuing interesting but not strenuous challenges while having enough time to enjoy the good things in life: friends, family, discovering the world, wasting time without pressuring obligations.

Either enough money to never work again, or enough money for years off between work bursts.

I don’t mean any disrespect to regular work-retirement lifestyle (huge respect to people who do things instead of making sounds with their mouth (except for singers)), but to me it’s a huge risk. Employers and govt will screw you over without thinking twice, e.g. in case of illness or life changes that make you temporarily less able than they expected.
