Financial Freedom: What it Means to me! This is the title I came up with when I took on a challenge to right a page with the topic, Financial Freedom. I thought yeah I can do this, with no Problems; Wrong!
When I first said these two words out loud I automatically said What does it Mean to Me. Great I thought I now have a path to take in writing me page. This is going to be simple, Right? This page has taken me on a journey that I didn’t expect and a search into my soul.
My Search into My Soul:
I had to take a couple of days to really think about this question I asked to myself.
- My first thought was to be debit free.
- Paying my bills as soon as they come in. Go on vacations with no worries about funding them.
- Having my husband retire and not have to worry about how much his Social Security is going to be.
- Going out for a nice dinner/being able to take family to dinner and not have to think about the bill, or having to choose a Restaurant because of how many we invite.
- Being able to buy presents without worrying about the cost.
So now that I have my list; Now I need to know how much do I have to have to Achieve Financial Freedom. My goals will tell me that.
What debit Free Means to Me, is Financial Freedom:
The Needs:
I have student loans that need to be paid off, (Thousands of dollars in debit, over hundred college credits, and nothing to show for it). Also have all our credit cards paid off. Have no loan payments, no medical bills, and no vet bills.
Wants:
I want to have my home built because I need to design the layout for our needs, (family and our rescue cats). Between my husband and me, we have 5 children, 17 Grandchildren,1 Great Granddaughter and 5 spouses and or partners). This is why I need to have my home built.
How many of us hate going to the mailbox/email box? I know I do, just the stress of looking at the Utility Bills have become scary due to the price hikes in the this past year. Can you imagine not having to worry about getting bills, just open them up and pay them. Now that is Financial Freedom! (to start with)
The Desires:
Traveling is one of my husband and mine biggest desires. He would like to go to Africa on a Looking Safari, (No Hunting, just Watching and Looking). You spend days traveling the Africa plans; stopping each night at a camping area.
My Dream vacation is a 21 day Alaskan Train and Cruise. You take a train through Alaska, stopping and staying in different towns and State Parks. Then on the return, you take a cruise ship along the Alaska shores; stopping at some Ports.
We also want to be able to Host Family trips once a year. The biggest Desire is to be able to help out our Favorite Charities; Our Veterans; The Rescue Centers; St. Jude’s; And find a solution for the Homeless.
The Future For All:
We all can have Financial Freedom; We all deserve Financial Freedom; We just have to rewire our brains to think differently. We have been programed to either work to make someone else financial secure; or go to college to make big money. The College road does not always work out that away.
We all have our own ideas of what Financial Freedom Means. I want you to look deep into your soul to answer this question for you. Then ask yourself; How are you going to Make this a Reality for you. Let me share with you how I am on my way to a Financial Freedom Future. Contact me here:
