FINANCIAL FREEDOM 101: INTRODUCTION TO FINANCIAL SUCCESS & FREEDOM

WHAT IS FINANCIAL FREEDOM

"Financial freedom generally means having enough savings, investments and cash on hand to afford the lifestyle we want for 
ourselves and our families and a growing nest egg that will allow us to
retire or pursue the career we want without being driven by earning a  certain amount each year."- Investopedia.com

Luxury; an end result of financial freedom & success

Financial freedom is an aspect of life almost everybody craves for. In fact, our everyday life is centred around achieving financial freedom and maintaining it as well. Financially capable parents send their children to school to educate them on different career choices, believing the children will after graduation will get a job which in turn going to be bringing in financial benefits, thus gradually leading them to financial freedom and independence. When this children grow up and start bearing their own kids, the also send their kids to school or invest in other ventures and the loop continues.

In the present day society, if one is not financially free to an extent from the age of 25 and beyond, the people around him or her would begin to look at you as unsuccessful or not working hard enough.
