Money is an essential tool needed by everyone to run our everyday lives. I could even call it the oxygen in which our basic human necessities breathe life. Money is everything, but then, everything isn't about money.
Money controls the world and that is why society recognizes you if you have money, that's a fact we shouldn't shy away from. No wonder James Hadley Chase in one of his books said “you're dead without money”. Money is oxygen, lol!
Have you ever imagined life without a penny in your pocket or bank account? You're hungry but have no hope of where a meal will come from. You have multiple bills piled up for you to take care of and debts to pay. You have family you desire to give the best life but life flips it over.
Your kids aren't enrolled in the school of your choice, upon that every now and then they're sent home for non payment of tuition fees. You ignore some family members' calls because of fear of demanding some financial assistance.
Friends and family don't even recognize or invite you for important meetings that require huge financial obligations and/or require critical decision making, after all those who cut the shots are the ones who have the power (the money).
Whenever you sleep you're woken up by a nightmare because like a garment, you wore worry to bed. You can't even think of family vacation, let alone treat. You're scared of walking into some places because you don't have the balls to….money! Truly money boosts confidence.
Then all of a sudden this prompt came your way;

As a person who has seen it all, a lot of thoughts would be flooded in my head at that moment. But being a person who thinks long term, I wouldn't want it to be a one time adventure that I'll be back to square zero after a short while.
I need money whereby I have different investments generating incomes for me. The truth is, money in which its worth is easily noticed would also be easily run down. You'll still be faced with the thought and fear of it being exhausted.
I need the kind of money where when I walk into a mall my concern isn't about the price tags of the items, but what I need and desire. Where I'd travel to wherever I deem necessary at any day and time without giving a hoot about my account balance.
Where family vacation is not just a dream but way of life. The children enrolled in the best schools. Living a financially free life would not be a worry free life if those around you who aren't opportuned isn't empowered. The truth is, one would be their target.
Hence, you're financially free but still live with fear of being attacked. People empowerment would be my top most priority, such that my impact would be felt. That would be my proof of true financial freedom.
In a nutshell, true financial freedom without worry goes beyond leading a comfortable life with your family alone. It encompasses helping people around you find their grounds and live without depending on you, to avoid the fear of one's life being hunted.
