It’s not unusual to make use of the phrases ‘monetary freedom’ and ‘monetary independence’ interchangeably. It’s a disservice to each. There is a crucial distinction I’ve realised.
Monetary Freedom
is a way of thinking the place you resolve to not let cash stand in the best way of what choices you make. There’s a sure consciousness, an consciousness of what’s vital to you.
You go about decluttering and simplifying your life and constructing it with ‘what’s vital to you and your loved ones‘.
Sure, you continue to have that residence mortgage and youngsters going to high school, however once you see a chance that can provide you barely much less cash however extra happiness, extra time with household, you resolve to go for it.
You don’t go about upgrading your life-style, past a degree, simply because you may have more cash. The larger automobile will not be vital and the 2BHK is sufficient for the household.
Monetary Independence
then again, is having sufficient cash to not get up one other day for locating extra of it. You may resolve to no matter you need, with out the cash fear behind your thoughts.
Go a world tour, work with social organisations, have lengthy lunches with buddies or spend time to jot down your weblog/ebook. Your portfolio, your wealth is sufficient to present your each day bills or another necessities.

Freedom is inside you, independence is exterior of you.
Fairly apparently, monetary freedom is extra vital than independence. In reality, freedom has to occur earlier than independence.
The liberty mindset is what lets you attain your independence. It helps you get off the hedonic treadmill.
Wealth will not be about having some huge cash, it’s about having a number of choices.
