Financial Independence at 30?

Is it possible to become financially independent by 30, and better yet is it worthwhile? Is the attainment of assets that generate enough cash flow to meet or exceed expenses (our definition of financial independence) a worthy goal? Money is just a base material position correct? It is the heart of materialistic baseness - hoarding money to roll around in like Scrooge McDuck. So why even contemplate financial independence.

Because it leads to other riches besides monetary richness. It leads to freedom of time, freedom to give money away and freedom to spend time with your family. It leads to the opportunity to spend your time how you see fit and live out your passions. If you become rich, you become rich in more ways than one, not just monetarily.
