How did you achieve "financial freedom"?

I'm new-ish to BP and look forward to connecting with all of you!

I own multiple rental properties that currently generate $1,500/month in cash flow after all expenses are accounted.  I am quite frugal and try to keep my non-housing expenses to around $2,000/month.  I feel like I am getting close to that magic "financial freedom" mark.  I plan to begin "house hacking" within the next year. 

That said, I am wondering how the financially free among us reached this point.  How long did it take, and were you able to quit your day job?  Did you maintain a separate retirement account?

Thanks for your thoughts!
