Some people live to work. They’ve found a career that’s such a perfect fit for their skills and personality that they can’t imagine doing anything else with their time. Warren Buffett is one of those people, having famously said that he plans to work as long as he is physically and mentally able to do so, despite being one of the richest people on the planet.

If so, read on to uncover 11 steps that can help you speed up your own Financial Independence Day.
