What Financial Freedom Feels like
Ever had that terrible feeling when your washer dies or your vehicle needs expensive repairs? You’re wondering how in the world are you going to come up with that kind of money?
You’re stressed, you have no money, and you’re forced to put the repairs on a credit card or payment plan because you have no other option. And the debt hole just keeps getting deeper. You didn’t want to do it, but what choice did you have?
But what if an expensive emergency expense was no big deal? Instead of stressing out and spending money you don’t have, you pay the bill and move on with your life. Your financial mindset doesn’t change much at all, and you forget that it ever happened after just a few days.
That’s what financial freedom feels like!
The Definition of Financial Freedom
Wikipedia defines financial freedom as “…the status of having enough income to pay one's living expenses for the rest of one's life without having to be employed or dependent on others.”
That’s kind of a formal definition, but what does it really mean to achieve financial freedom?
What is Financial Freedom?
You can think of financial freedom as managing your money to achieve freedom of choice. Not only do you have enough money to support yourself indefinitely, but you have the freedom to make choices about your life that you couldn’t make before. For instance:
- You can choose to retire from formal employment.
- Or, you can choose to continue working in a job you love.
- Money (or lack of it) is no longer a factor in most decisions.
- Freedom to live where and how you choose.
- You have more time to pursue any activity you want.
- Emergency expenses are easily affordable with cash.
- You can travel when and where you want.
- Freedom to meet the needs of others through massive generosity.
- Freedom to start the business you’ve always wanted instead of working for someone else.
- You can leave an inheritance to your children and their children.
- And much more…
There’s More to Financial Independence than Money
Achieving financial independence can also be good for your spiritual life if you allow it to be.
Don’t get me wrong though. Extreme amounts of money acts as a magnifying glass. So, if you’re a butt before you achieve financial freedom, you’ll be a much bigger butt when you become wealthy.
However, if you’re generous and kind, you’ll be much more so once you achieve financial freedom.
You will become much more at peace with your finances and how money works in your life. You have total control over your money, and money has no control over you.
