We all know the feeling—the panic that sets into your stomach when you see the bill for an unexpected car repair. How are we going to pay for that? But what if a car repair was just an inconvenience? Instead of worrying, you pay the bill without thinking twice. A week later you’ve forgotten that it even happened! That’s how little it affects your financial situation. It’s not an emergency. It’s barely a hiccup!
The next time a pandemic or recession hits and you miss a monthly paycheck, instead of panic and relying on the government, you’ve got a safety net. You can focus on the other inconveniences of the crisis, not where your family’s next meal is going to come from.
Do you feel that sense of relief? That’s what financial freedom feels like.
Paying for a car repair without stress is just a small part of the picture. It’s more than just being able to afford emergencies. It’s knowing you don’t have to worry about retirement because you’ve worked with your financial advisor to invest consistently for decades. It’s the freedom to quit your J-O-B to do something you love, even if it means getting paid less.
Financial freedom means that you get to make life decisions without being overly stressed about the financial impact because you are prepared. You control your finances instead of being controlled by them.
The path to financial freedom isn’t a get-rich-quick strategy. And financial freedom doesn’t mean that you’re “free” of the responsibility of handling your money well. Quite the opposite. Having complete control over your finances is the fruit of hard work, sacrifice and time. And all of that effort is worth it!

What does financial freedom look like for you? Maybe it looks something like this:
Freedom to choose a career you love without worrying about money
Freedom to take an international trip every year without it straining your budget
Freedom to pay cash for a new ski boat
Freedom to respond to the needs of others with outrageous generosity
Freedom to retire a whole decade early
When you have financial freedom, you have options. You don’t have to wonder if your bank account can handle replacing your hot water heater or buying groceries for a single mom who just lost her job
