What are your top 2 reasons for reaching financial freedom?
Good Morning!
I spend every morning on self education. I read or listen to a podcast every morning while drinking a strong cup of coffee with my dog sound asleep on my lap. (Sometimes I look at my dog thinking how smart she is, completely free with two human taking care of her every need). But that is a entirely separate post! haha
I wanted to share my top 2 reasons to become financially free.
#1 is to help others. I want to allow my spouse to quit her corporate job if she wants. To allow her to work on things that full fill her regardless of the monetary value. Also for my mom who lives on a fixed income working a pt job to have spending money. I want to allow her to enjoy her golden years with no financial stress.
#2 is to chase passion. I want to be able to give all my attention to exploring things that excite me, I want to live life to the fullest, and that means spending more time on things that matter instead of things that don't.
I hope my reasons for freedom inspire and motivate you to SHARE your top 2 reasons BELOW!
2017 will be the best year yet!
