Financial Independence
Hello everyone. It another awesome day of the Christmas week again. I wish you all prosperity in good health.
It have been a wonderful year all the while and the most grateful is being alive, staying in the house not hospital and having freedom to do what you love and like. Just as you are reading this, may I say a big congratulation to each and every one of us all.
December is the last month of the year which prepares January, the beginning of another year but in the long run, how far have we lived? How did we start and how are we finishing/ending to start again?
It all matters to set goals, setting our goals to some of us could be as easy as just saying and mentioning them. Anyone could as well lie on the couch thinking out loud on some occasion about what they would likely achieve for the day, week,month or at any give time. This all matters but what matters most is working towards the achievement, the effort involved and the sacrifices to pay in order to get the goals set.
Independent is not being dependent which simply means Providing a comfortable livelihood.
Let me remind us that every man is subject to independence. Yes! it doesn't matter what your level of achievement in life now is. You once depended on someone, one, two or more before through you journey to being independent now and such is life. When we were born and all our days as infant, we needed someone to take care of us and provide all our need to our satisfaction. Someone has got to pay our fees too. The food and clothing. All these and more are what man depended on another before standing our on his own.
"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will"..Charlotte Brontë
Who could beat his/her chest and proudly say he/she is independent.. is there any? Maybe.
The point is that, we all need each other in life so my focus in this article is being independent in terms of finance💰.
*Financial independence*
Financial independence is simply the status of one having enough income to pay his/her living expenses for the rest of his/her life without having to be employed or dependent on anyone.
What an achievement it is. Everyone would love to be financially stable and independent. There are good number of people around your community you can imagine to be this independent and wish you be like them. The power to be like and more than them lies in our hand. It in our decision that determines that.
They were once in whatever stage you are. Making your goals and sacrifices has a long way to go. In the society today, no one likes to associate with the poor therefore, financial independence is so important because money stops nonsense. Nothing good comes easy. Ask any wealthy man or financial independent man , they all will tell you that to be this independent, you've got to pay a price of hardwork.
An African proverb says " if you want to eat frog, eat the fat one". Big goals for big achievement and not forgetting the sacrifices involved.
As we prepare the ending of the year and await the beginning of a whole new year, come on, let have something in mind to work for. It shocking to hear for the first time that even the rich need more money than the poor. I couldn't believe that right now, I think I am gradually reading meaning into that.
Have a good day and Thanks for reading.
