Financial freedom is a choice, not a condition.
In all reality, financial freedom should not depend on how much money you make, it’s how you use the money you’re making.
Sure, there might be situations where extreme poverty is forced upon you, I get that. But for the most part, and for the vast majority of us who have social media, financial freedom is a choice, not a condition.
Even if you do find yourself in extreme poverty, you can still have the mindset and heart condition of freedom and contentment.
In Philippians, the Apostle Paul says this:
Philippians 4:11-13 Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.
He wrote that from a prison cell with nothing really to his name! Yet he was financially free!
For my wife and I, we choose to live in financial freedom by following the Joe Sangl school of money. Give, save, invest, and plan the rest.
And the caveat to “plan the rest” is living with no debt. Outside of our mortgage, which we are on pace to pay off early, we live with no consumer debt whatsoever.
No credit card debt, car payments, furniture debt, nothing! You can do this too!
Remember, financial freedom is a choice, not a condition.
