Financial Freedom (Graphics created using free tools on Canva.com)

Living Expenses and Financial freedom

Imagine it is you who reach financial freedom. You will be able to choose to travel more. You can choose to go on cruises more. You can choose to spend more quality time with your family and loved ones. You can choose to do more volunteering work. You can choose to spend more time on your passions and hobbies. You can choose to put more focus on your personal projects that you were not able to work on if you are engaged in active work. You can even choose to start a new career which you truly love to do, not for financial consideration.
Without a doubt, not having to worry about finances is so important. The freedom of choice is so powerful.
Reaching financial freedom does not mean retirement. If you love the active work you are engaged in, you can choose to continue to do so. It is entirely your choice.
Financial freedom empowers you and gives you the freedom to choose.
