"Financial Freedom" is used and spoken so often that we perhaps overlook the word "freedom" and focus most of our energies on the 'financial' part.
Financial Freedom is much more about your personal freedom than about the money.

There are hoards of people around you who are astonishingly rich and stunningly wealthy. But you are not looking to be one of them. You are stuck in a vicious cycle of earning and spending, and you wish to come out of this, so that you are able to do what you love doing.The question primarily is then not about money but about your "Freedom". If the question is about your freedom, then we must understand how important it is.
Freedom is important, very important. It is so important that our survival may become meaningless without it.
Can we not survive without it? Well, we can.. A nation that was a slave 70 years back also survived for 200 years to achieve its freedom. If an entire nation can survive, so can you. But again, the right question is whether our survival is really worth if we are not free to make our own choices, execute our own decisions and live life the way we want to live?
If our life is constrained by factors like money, job, clients, business - then we are missing out on experiencing the true bliss that comes with playing guitar or traveling the world or writing your book or playing with your kids or planting trees.
Each human being (and a State or a Nation on a bigger scale) has a desire to express his views, take decisions, own the results of those decisions and celebrate the success or learn from failures as it comes along the path. Without freedom, even with the best of comforts that life has to offer, life is meaningless.
Just like the freedom of a country is paramount, at an individual level, the same applies to your personal financial freedom. You may not believe it, because you have not yet experienced it. Freedom is something to be experienced and cherished.
Imagine if you had the freedom to decide the agenda of the day, and then change that as per your wish, if you had the freedom to spend time with your loved ones, if you had the choice to help poor, if you had the choice to help your kid prepare for the next exam or the next sports competition, if you had the time and money to help bring positive impact on the society and on the country... just imagine what freedom can do for you. It is not about me or someone else, it is about how you want to craft your life.
Experience it once. You always have a choice to go back to what you are doing if you feel, but what if you experienced something extraordinary - your life may be in for one of the most beautiful journey you would ever undertake.
Financial Freedom can give you the "choice" to lead your life the way you want to.....
