What's your freedom stack?

Tech startups often talk about tech stack – a list of the tech infrastructures and services they used to build and run their app. HR gurus talk about skill stack – the set of skills that make you a good hire.
What about “freedom stack”?
I often talk about how I’m not in software for the money but the freedom that the work and the money bring. So what’s the set of locations, methods and resources I need that would give me that freedom?
For example:
The freedom stack I’m working on:
- Portuguese residency & citizenship
- St Kitts and Nevis citizenship
- Main base in Portugal
- Holiday home in Bangkok
- Keep building & selling small SaaS cos.
- Keep exploring & playing with web3
My freedom stack:
- Singapore citizenship, as native home base
- Bali, Indonesia for retreats, as a second home, with business visa
- Kyoto, Japan for inspiration, shorter tourist stays
- $10k monthly revenue from all my products
- Location independence on all my work
- A remote career for my wife
- Remote schooling for my son
- Ability to pay for airfare for grandparents’ visit anytime
What else did I miss?
It’s nice to start daydreaming again of travel and being able to go anywhere we please. The money target is hard for sure, but I can already start setting up the rest in time for when the world reopens.
One can dream.
If anything, we all need dreams and hope. All the more at such times.

@keni $1M annual profit a year. would be the ultimate dream! More than enough.
Re: skills, that’s a great question. For me, that would be coding, design, marketing, spotting opportunity, and the skill of increasing luck.

Nice!!!
It would be interesting to read the reasons why for each of them.

great idea! Will write about it today

We all need to identify what our freedom stack is. There is nothing more depressing that living without hope and dreams.
I feel like I need to visit Singapore, Bali and Indonesia just from reading your posts.
$10K MRR is over a million dollars a year. That is definitely enough for most dreams to come true.
What skills would you add to this stack?
