Financial Freedom
Much has been written and spoken about Financial Freedom. But tonight, I’m just mulling the term over as there are so many teachers who describe what financial freedom is all about. But do they have mastery over their lives, hence their lifestyles?
As usual in any argument, 2 sides of the fence combined yields the truth. All too often making money by the million is used as the draw by marketers as the ideal in achieving financial freedom. But is that realistic? Is it an expectation or a pipe dream to have a mansion, travel everywhere on the planet, a Lamborghini, a fantastic smiling family and a dog that can talk? Then expect the huge bills too. Will you ever be free of the money and material chase?
On the other hand, there are those who do very well and have everything they can ever ask for – the ocean views, fresh air, warm temperatures all year, fresh fruits and coconuts at the door-step, more than enough to eat, a boat slip and blue skies…They want for nothing and have nothing else. Yet, by any other measure, this guy’s all but broke. He appears already retired.
Who’s really free?
But then, who am I to say what all these things mean from both sides of the fence? Well, for one, I’ve lived on both sides of this invisible fence. It’s just a state of mind made real depending on what you want, need or expect to have.
Or maybe, the commodity of living free is now so rare that the wealth has shifted to the guy who wants nothing because there is nothing to have. But that is of course, Utopia – or is it?
