Ask LEO: Is Living your dream life financially free?

Source

What is your dream life?

Taking very good care of yourself, buying that house you want, wearing designer cloths, riding in those very fanciful cars, having the talk of the town wedding, going on vacations every now and then and the big one, living a debt-free life.
Amazing right? I am sure you are imagining yourself doing all of these things I mentioned now. A lot of us are currently on this table and it is okay to want to live in that dream life.

I personally think that having that dream life is cool. Have you ever been in an emergency and you really need to sort it out financially,yet you don't even have a Kobo? That feeling is terrible. The only option is to call people to come to your aid and then the plenty excuses starts coming. Like,
oh you should have called earlier, I just spent my cash now
or
sorry man, I haven't been paid my salary for the month, and I wish I can help

Those words hurt a big deal.

The joy comes when you can sort out emergencies really quick without blinking an eye. I once had an emergency some years back and I needed to sort myself out as quickly as possible. I had a terrible pain that was hitting hard on my eyes. I didn't have any dime to head to the hospital. I called some friends who told me one story to another. But luckily, I got help from a family member. Even though, I got help, I was really ashamed of myself for begging. I was determined never to beg for little financial help. And that was how I resulted to getting financial freedom.

I think that financial freedom is a good security. This security of having the knowledge that you can sort bills at whatever time and day, is what I call financial freedom.

In my quest to be financially free, I learnt that investing and saving will do the trick for you. Two things that I have invested in are landed properties and cryptocurrencies. For lands, they always appreciate and that's a good investment for everyone. Cryptocurrencies are not completely secure because of the rising and falling. Fingers are always crossed while investing in Cryptocurrencies.

However, I save ,save and save. The importance of savings cannot be overemphasized. I learnt at an early age that saving is a priority. Sometimes, it is what I have saved, that takes me out of what would have been an embarrassing situation.

I live according to my income. I am the last person who would want to go for things that are more expensive than my income. I live a minimalist lifestyle which even makes things easier and simpler for me.

Being financially free is attainable. When you cut your coat according to your size, invest in valuables and save, you can actualize financial freedom. I think the very main thing is being determined and focus. Nothing is sweeter than when you look at yourself and you are happy that you are living the life of your dreams. That feeling is heavenly.
