The problem in this version of financial freedom is that it creates a underlying dissatisfaction from the current moment – from the current moment of your life. It makes you think that freedom is something you will experience in the future – when your bank balance allows you.

Oh, and when you finally get there? You will still not feel free. You will be worried about losing the freedom you work for to get. You will not train your mental and emotional muscles to enjoy freedom, you will train them to optimize for financial growth.

I mean, what you missed is not a financial skill. You know how to save and invest. But what you can miss is a wider definition of financial freedom; Someone who combines your mental and emotional freedom.

Financial freedom is only more than one number, but also a mental and emotional experience. You can be your money and you can’t do it anyway to feel free. Therefore, while achieving financial freedoms, while receiving financial skills – enjoyment requires emotional skills.

Think about it like this. There is a level of financial freedom you can use right now. How often do you enjoy the financial freedoms you already have? Perhaps stress about unpaid invoices, freedom of easily ensuring less luxury, being purchasing assets, saving money, and freedom of leaving. Currently, there is a lot of freedom here.

The journey is not just something you need to suffer when going to the top; It is an inseparable part of your experience.

This is a different type of freedom in itself, because you no longer have to wait up to some special financial milestone to a future point to allow you to enjoy freedom. Now you can give this permission with everything you can use.

In doing so, you can see that you are watching your financial progress quickly. From where? You are no longer climbing the mountain of financial freedom anymore, “Am I there yet?” Instead, you enjoy the landscapes.

The journey is not just something you need to suffer when going to the top; It is an inseparable part of your experience. Financial freedom stops being an element to mark your list and becomes an experience you will experience.

When you match the financial skills of creating wealth with their emotional skills to maintain and enjoy – then you get true financial freedom; Not only a richer bank account, but also a richer life experience.
