Is it good to dream? It is good to be materialistic but what matters is what you are really doing to get what you want. Are you hitting your goal so hard? Or does what you want determinant on another.
I believe in getting whatever I want for myself, working so hard to give myself that dream vacation, the luxury cars, hairs and beautiful mansion.
That dream can't come to reality if I don't work towards achieving it. There is a line drawn between the rich and the poor which is are you willing to birth success.
Everything comes with a price and sacrifice but what matters is if you're willing to sacrifice what needs to be done to get what you want.
I had a dream, a dream I shared with my best friend back then in secondary school. I was so determined to achieve it but after both of us lost contact and later reunited after two years she once asked me if I have achieved those dreams I shared with her. A hustling Nigerian student that was going through the stress of school. I laughed a little and never said a thing, it's been like 6 years now but I'm yet to achieve that dream but still have it in mind and hopefully I will be able to achieve it some day.
Do I consider financial freedom as success? Financial freedom for me is success. If I have the money to get what I want, have what I want and go wherever I want, it's success for me. I don't need to have a big mansion or luxurious car to tag myself as a successful person. As long as I can afford what I want. Life is sweet if you truly care about yourself, forget about the noise and the showoff. It doesn't really matter, what matters is focusing on yourself. Be happy and stay healthy.
