Hey Jesscitizens
As a member of the modern world we've bee consumed by the chase for resources, we want more so we can spend more. The more we get, the more we win, the happier we will be as human beings, or so we've been told. The desire for opulence is ingrained in us, and as a society, many of us aspire to be resource-laden without having to work for it or in exchange for the least amount of labour.
While some people achieve this through stardom in sport, acting, music, social media, some business venture, inheritance or luck, the vast majority are still trying to find our way to reach these goals.
This is evident by the amount of getting rich quick schemes, business coaches, life coaches, ("contreprenuers")entrepreneurs and online gurus who have it "figured out" and want to sell you the formula for success at a steep premium. The desire for this material success is so strong that these people can enrich themselves via the aspirations of wealth without work or minimum work.

The dream of financial freedom
I'm sure you've heard this pitch plenty of times, the goal of financial freedom. Wow, having so much money that you never have to worry about being able to afford anything. My question to you is, is that the definition of freedom? If your happiness is tied to this asset and your ability to purchase things that bring you joy? Is that not papering over the cracks and still keeping you in the rat race?
Isn't that why Billionaires and Millionaires don't step back from the world of work once they've amassed a fortune? For they are still slaves to the money, only in a different way?
Wouldn't the actual goal be financial liberation, where you are entirely free of the grip of money?
Where you have enough and realise you don't need more, where your accumulated wealth regenerates at a pace that you do not out consume and in that, you now have the time and focus on doing whatever you want with your life.
Have your say
