Can you enjoy life by gaining Financial Freedom?  

financial freedom is tied to how much are you willing to live on, the lifestyle you want to lead, your needs and wants. some gain financial freedom through passive sources of income. i read in one forum how one person lives off the interests/earnings of his time deposit, bonds, mutual funds etc which means he invested a lot of money first to get that. others just manage their businesses from time to time because they are already stable. you still need a regular source of income to live the life you want or simplify/downscale your life.

I agree with you. I don't think I would really enjoy life just for financial freedom because sooner or later I will get used to it and get bored with having all the money, being able to spend freely, and then I would look for another thing that can satisfy me.

In my opinion I will say that 'Yes', I will enjoy my life if I have financial freedom, because with financial freedom at-least I would be stress free.

Now a days people like me are stressed about making living of his family, if I have lost job, how I would make my living? This question keeps roaring in the mind. By gaining financial freedom at-least this stress would not be more.

Ya, there are many who has financial freedom but there's lack of peace. I think this is natural, more money you have, more you want. But you can live life peacefully if you do something like charity and other things, like Bill Gates. This is up to you.

Financial freedom doesn't guarantee success, contentment, and fulfillment because there's a lot more to life than mere money but it's also an undeniable fact that financial freedom also could drastically help one enjoy life a lot more. Reality is, people need money. Without money or good finances, people can't go to good schools, have good food on the table, acquire high quality medical services, have some recreation in life, and of course, achieve one's wants. Money is involved in almost everything that we do and as much as we might ignore the fact that it is important, it really is in reality. People who doesn't have much financially rarely achieve a contented and worry-free life. Finances has become not only a status symbol in these days but also as a way of life. People who have lots of money are normally enjoying a lot more than those who have less or none at all. It's true that there are a lot of things that can make one happy that money can't buy but there are also a lot of things that money can do that love, friendship, and the like that can't take the place of money in one's life. It's true that money isn't a guarantee that one will be happy with it, even with lots of it, but without money, it isn't also a guarantee that one would have a better life than having money. Practically speaking, we all need money and without it, it will be very hard and it's hard to find a reason to smile.

Financial freedom means not to be in debt, not to have mortguages and to have enough money and be self sufficient and not depend on anyone.Money is not bad in itself ,it is our greed that makes life miserable for us. Most rich people whohave lots of money to spare still feel that they don`t have enough since everytime they make more money they raise their lifestyle a notch above. for eg if thay had only one car or house once more money comes in they buy another car or even one more, they go in for another house, they buy more jewellery for their wife, their children want the latest clothes, mobiles, etc and so it goes on and on. the more money theu make the more their wants increase and it becomes endles.In their craze for riches they lose their health, have no time for the family and end up making a mess of their lives. When one has sufficient money one should become contented with what one has and then relax for the rest of their lives. Once the children are settled they should retire and live happily and a healthy life.

Fiancee freedom means giving because of love for God.
For sake of directing his joy in moral goods to God, the christian should keep in mind that the value of his, alms , penances, etc, is not based up their quantity and quality, so much as upon the love,practiced in them, and they are pure in deeper in quality, the pure and more entire the love of God by which they are performed, and less self interest, there is concerning.. joy pleasure and praise (st.john of cross).

For my point of view, I rather have financial freedom than none at all. I know everyone experience problems even if we have lots of money or no money at all. The things is, it is lesser the problem with financial freedom than having a lot of problem with no financial.

no, i cannot enjoy my life by just gaining financial freedom alone with myself, but if i will share it to all my family and friends, in that case i may say already that I'm enjoying my life gaining financial freedom. I don't want to be hypocrite if i say that i don't need a financial freedom yet it is my goal in life. All the things that we have like money and the success of life are God's entrusted to us we just don't know His purpose, which is, He want us to share to others all the blessings we had.
