What Is Freedom?

Freedom, depending on your point of view, may have many meanings. Freedom, in one sentence, can be defined as "the absence of restraints upon our ability to think and act".

Today, many people are not debt-free not to even mention being financially-free. How we act with our money are often restrained by the amount of payments we have to meet every month.

Being in debt is one thing, but doing nothing about it is another matter. The world's financial system has been set up in such a way that one can actually be in debt all his/her working-life until death!! The way the pensions in many countries are going, the governments cannot afford to take care of you when you retire; so you have to do something about it now.

Should you even be bothered about financial freedom? If your job stops today and you cannot live as you as you're living now for the next 3 months (at least), you should be concerned.

Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds - Proverbs 27:23
