Financial freedom makes us truly Freedom!
I think we have to agree that money is a powerful thing. Without it, we might not be able to afford things like health care, food, or shelter.

When we are financially independent, we can truly live our lives in the way that we want to and not have any worries about finances. I think that when we are financially independent, we can do what we love and be able to live an amazing life without having to worry about money problems or being able to pay bills.
I feel like when we are financially independent, then things will start happening for us in a whole new way. We will be able to go places without worrying about where our next meal is coming from or how much money we need for the trip. We will be able to buy whatever food and drinks we want without having to worry about money because then it won’t matter if the price goes up or down because it will just be taken care of by someone else (the company).
I don't know how many times I have been in a situation where I had a family member or friend who wanted to go out and do something, but they couldn't because they didn't have the money. Or, they were too broke to go out and do anything at all.
I've never been able to fully enjoy myself or my time off because I'm always thinking about how much money I need to make in order to be able to do things like travel, spend time with loved ones, and buy new clothes. I am not truly independent until I am financially independent.
I think the first step to being financially free is to create a plan for getting out of debt and building up some savings. Then, once you have a solid financial foundation, it's time to start thinking about what kind of lifestyle you want to have. Once you have that figured out, it's time to figure out how much money you need to live on in order to achieve your goals—and then make sure that plan actually works!
If you don't have a plan or if your plan isn't working, then you're probably still paying off debt or just not saving enough money. If that's the case, then I'd say that right now you're still not financially free.
I also think in some ways money can be a negative force on our lives. It can give us more freedom if it's spent wisely—but it can also trap us in situations where we feel like we have no control over our own destiny.
It's important for anyone who wants to get ahead financially to figure out how much they need and what they need so that they don't end up spending too much. But at the same time, I think having enough money in your bank account is nice too—especially if you know how to manage it wisely!

Again there are many people who depend on their jobs for their livelihoods and cannot afford to take time off when they need to. These people are not truly free, because they feel the need to work all hours of the day just to make ends meet.
When I was a kid, I used to think that being able to go anywhere and do anything was freedom. But now that I'm older, I understand that being financially free is even more important than being able to travel the world or have whatever vacation dream of mine at the time.
I can't imagine any situation in which it would be okay for me to work just because it's a job that pays well and doesn't require me to sacrifice my personal life or health in order to get by day-to-day. We need money in order to be able to make choices like that—choices that will affect our lives and keep us happy.
I don't mean that we should be financially free before we're truly independent. I mean that when we are financially independent, we are more able to do what really matters: live our lives the way we want and make decisions based on our values.
For example, if I'm financially independent, I'll be able to go on a trip to see my family or friends even if it's just a quick overnight visit. If I'm financially independent, I'll be able to buy a house and start a family with the person of my dreams (or even just with someone who makes me happy). If I'm financially independent, I can take care of myself better and feel better about how much time I spend working versus being at home with my family.
And until then? Well… let's just say that being financially independent is still pretty damn sweet!
And guess what? You can't have it all—not if you want both freedom and stability in your life. So choose wisely: Are you going spend your time working so hard toward financial security? Or are you going spend your time enjoying yourself and learning new things?

I'm always dreaming for financial stability and looking forward to it :)
