Who this path is for: anyone whose self-employed income arrives in lumps — and anyone who may one day steward a family business or portfolio.
Where it goes: your own definition of financial freedom —
no money anxiety, because the important parts are handled by design. The bridge is built in this order: cash-flow machine → safety floor → tidy books & taxes → the companies → investing → behavior & defense → stewarding a family portfolio, if that's ever your job.
What you need
Real income, however lumpy · a reason to do it well · one honest evening a week.
You’re building
A money machine that runs itself · CRA-proof books · account literacy (TFSA/RRSP/FHSA) · a boring, evidence-based portfolio · the skill of reading a company.
The law of this path: same as the Film Path — in order, one task at a time, and tick only when the DO is done, not when the video ends. Most stages end with something you SET UP, WROTE, or FILED. Second law: index-first honesty — the boring portfolio is the engine; stock analysis is stewardship, never a casino. Every link was oEmbed-verified the day this was built (2026-07-03).
